Lib Dem Leader Wants More DisAbled MPs

June 16, 2009

I’ve known for a while that the government was making an effort to allow more DisAbled MPs into Parliament. After the ratification of the CRPD last week, it now seems very appropriate that they are starting to seriously consider this possibility. I’m very pleased to find out, thanks to George, that the leader of the Liberal Democrats, Nick Clegg, has today pledged to encourage more disabled people to stand for Parliament and to highlight the current under-representation of disabled people in British politics. I’d just like to thank him for his support of this very good idea.
