Get involved

For all of you who would like to get a bit more involved with , and help us spread the word, we’ve collected some goodies together especially for you!

Over on our new Get Involved page you will find easy sharing links for your favourite social media sites, a Twibbon which you can use on your Twitter avatar and Facebook profile picture, a set of posters for downloading, printing and sticking up wherever you can find some free space (windows, noticeboards, your friends back *shh*) and a tasty desktop wallpaper to brighten up your computer screen.

We’ve been considering opening a little shop where you would be able to buy  t-shirts, mugs, badges and stickers, which would all help promote the site and get the message out there. It would also help support the site financially. Please let us know in the comments if this is something you’d be interested in. If we have time and there’s enough interest, we might well get this up and running soon.

We really appreciate the fantastic support we have already been receiving from you all, and with a little more, we can take even further. Thank you!

“…an interesting way to look at party politics… without having to commit to reading through manifestos and heavy research.”
