Jo Swinson is just 2601 votes behind Tony Blair's man in East Dunbartonshire. With your help, Jo can become the next MP for East Dunbartonshire.

Make a Donation

Unlike the Conservatives who receive many large donations from big businesses and multi-millionaires, the Liberal Democrats mainly rely on our members and supporters for funding. With thousands of supporters across the country each making a small donation, we raise our funds to pay for leaflets, newspapers and campaigning.

This means the donations the Conservatives and Labour receive from big business and trade unions gives them far more to spend than we do. The Electoral Commission's register of donations to political parties for the third quarter of 2004 shows that Labour received £3.7 million, compared to £2.4 million received by the Conservatives and £915,523 received by the Liberal Democrats.

What your money could buy

Just £20 would pay for 1,000 leaflets to deliver to voters across the area. For £100, we could order 400 more posters for use during the election campaign. And for £250, we could add a new targetted mailing into our campaign schedule to remind voters of how Tony Blair's Government has let them down.

Whatever you can afford, your donation would be used to make a real difference to the campaign. Please support our campaign with a donation today - either by using the links below to make a donation on-line with your dredit or debit card via Paypal, or by sending a cheque payable to "East DunbartonshireLiberal Democrats" to Jo Swinson, 20 Keystone Quadrant, Milngavie, G62 6LL. Thank you!

Make Sure You Can Vote

At each election, many people fully intend to vote but then end up busy on pollling day and don't get the chance to make their voice heard. To beat Labour at the next General Election in East Dunbartonshire, Jo Swinson and the Liberal Democrats will need every single vote possible.

Make sure your vote and voice is heard by making sure you are on the register, and applying for a postal vote. Every elector is entitled to vote by post, and your ballot paper will be sent to you around 2 weeks before polling day, with clear instructions and a reply paid envelope. You can vote at home, and return your vote before polling day - otherwise it's so easy to forget!

If you are a registered elector in East Dunbartonshire, you can register to vote by post using the link below - your completed request is then sent directly to the Election Returning Officer. If you are not sure if you are on the electoral register and entitled to vote, you can either use the link below to register, or call East Dunbartonshire Council Electoral Registration helpline on 0141 562 1200.

    Send us your views

    If you are a resident of the East Dunbartonshire constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
