Remember what you're there for..

Next week the Liberal democrats troop down to Brighton, marking the start of the political party conference season. Could I take this opportunity to remind the delegates who will attend - not only this, but all the other conferences as well - that you aren't there for a jolly or to indulge in a few days' navel-contemplation. Your purpose should be to appeal to the likes of me - the floating voter - to decide the future course our country will follow. I know the next general election's not due for a while, but if it did happen now, my cross would, should such a thing be possible, go into the "none of the above" box. I'd be very surprised if I'm the only one who feels this way, and that can't be a good thing...
