Public Meeting with Nick Clegg MP
Reading Central Branch Liberal Democrats formally invite you to a public meeting with Nick Clegg MP.
This will be taking place on Saturday 18 October 2008 from 6pm to 7pm in the Kennet Room of Reading Civic Centre RG1 7AE.
This meeting forms part of a series of “Town Hall” visits throughout the country. Nick Clegg is determined to do everything he can to be accessible to the public and make them feel they do have a voice to influence what happens in our country.
Nick has said:
“Since I became leader of the Liberal Democrats, I’ve held public meetings up and down the country. They are an opportunity for me to talk to real people about the matters they want to raise.
No scripted questions, no pre-prepared answers – just a frank talk between me and local people about issues, problems, and how we can solve them.”
Most people feel cut off from politics – left out or even ignored most of the time. They don’t have a voice to influence what happens in our country.
“It’s no use politicians waiting in Westminster and assuming they know everything. If you want to understand how things like the credit crunch really affect people, you’ve got to be out meeting people and listening.”
Lib Dem Group Leader and parliamentary campaigner for Reading East, Cllr Gareth Epps Said:
“There will be no scripted questions, no pre-prepared answers -just a frank talk between Nick Clegg and local people about issues, problems, and how we can solve them.
“You do not have to be a Liberal Democrat to attend this meeting or ask questions. We hope very much to see you there.”
