Will a call to privatise the NHS be Liberal Vision's Conference stunt?



In recent years Liberal Democrat annual conferences have been enlivened by Ben Ramm's poetry magazine The Liberal calling for the party's leader to be sacked.br /br /Last year the media stunt torch passed to Liberal Vision, who predicted that the party would lose lots of seats unless it followed just the policies that the group advocates.br /br /What will Liberal Vision's stunt be this year?br /br /Perhaps there are some clues. In response to the span style="color:#ff0000;"#welovethenhs/span Twitter campaign, a href="http://www.liberal-vision.org/2009/08/12/if-you-love-the-nhs-so-much-marry-it-privatisethenhs/"Sara Scarlett/a, writing on Liberal Vision, invited people to write tweets with the "anti-NHS" hashtag span style="color:#ff0000;"#privatisetheNHS/span.br /br /Of course, what we should be talking about is span style="color:#ff0000;"#howtheLibDemswillruntheNHSdifferently/span, but neither side has been very interested in that this week.br /br /The second clue, found via a href="http://www.theliberati.net/quaequamblog/2009/08/13/when-rightwhingers-demand-nuance-count-the-spoons/"James Graham/a, is that Progressive Vision has launched a Facebook group to "help end rationed healthcare in Britain". It aims to "make span style="color:#ff0000;"#no2NHS/span the No.1 tweeting trend".br /br /This is significant because, in the words of a href="http://www.liberal-vision.org/faq/"Liberal Vision's FAQs/a, "In strict legal terms, we are a wholly-owned subsidiary of the classical liberal think tank, Progressive Vision." They also say they are "not obliged to support all or any of Progressive Vision’s specific policies", but it does show you which way the wind is blowing.br /br /The idea of privatising the NHS is a fantasy, but calling for it would certainly get Liberal Vision the publicity it craves.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6606798-5904874113435562644?l=liberalengland.blogspot.com'//div
