Social care.
Introducing myself:
I want to get something done about social care by disrupting the next Westminster election, if I can persuade other disrupters to agree!
I want a fixed national social care budget read-out alongside health and defence in parliament as part of the budget. It can be allocated to councils by need if they can be trusted to ring-fence it. It cannot be set by councils.
I realise that this is a popular idea but there are a lot of similar and overlapping points of view, so I just want to make a fuss in the next election somehow.
Making a fuss could involve someone standing for parliament and agreeing to stand-down if one of the top two other candidates agrees to rebel against their party whip and support the idea if elected.
That's me. That's why I logged-on and posted. I have a little-read blog on http://election-richmond-park.blogspot.co.uk/ and I have done a bit of questioning and googling to find out about how elections work but have probably forgotten it again - there's some deadline for agreeing to pay a deposit and get free postage for your electoral bit of paper to votors, and some deadline for taking your name off the ballot paper. The ideal outcome that could influence a mainstream candidate is to pay a deposit, get your bit of paper posted free to votors, and show that you have enough support that you could keep your deposit by not standing-down. Something like pledges of financial support.
I've written the odd thing on another blog about cheap ink paper and home printing, but whatever I write on blogs will only put readers off as I want to concentrate on a social care budget that's as national as any other budget read-out in the budget speech.

PS I'm not an easy person to convert towards other similar campaigns. Just thought it best to say before anyone tries!
