InVinceCable We Trust

The evening of 11th May 2010

That’s it then. A man who has never even run a corner shop now has the responsibility of looking after your finances, and everyone elses. He is the youngest Chancellor for a Century. And the least qualified, or so the InVinceCable campaign team thinks, at a time when the economy needs the most sage handling. May he succeed.

Thanks to everyone who supported the InVinceCable campaign. We hope this outcome does not deter you from continuing to use social media, indeed any lawful means, to engage in this country’s political and societal well being.

Perhaps we can point you to the excellent campaign at http://www.takebackparliament.com… which needs your support right now!

Over and out. Onwards and upwards.

8th May 2010

Check out what the Telegraph has to say… the Tory paper is basically “on message” with the InVinceCable campaign!

12.46pm 7th May 2010.

Well, we wanted to wait awhile for fear of calling it too early, but now that it’s the afternoon of the day after, it’s clear. We have undoubtedly got ourselves a hung parliament, which is most excellent news for the country. Why?

Because now Vince Cable can be chancellor!

Our campaign now comes into its own. Now is the time for our voice to be heard.

We’re gearing up for Blog Vince Day this coming Sunday, but please start making the noise and explaining our point of view right now. It goes something along the lines of “George Osborne hasn’t even run a corner shop” and “Vince Cable is an economist” but you’ll find plenty more material to make your own on our website here.

This is it. Let’s do it!

Who would you like running your country’s economy?

A lawyer?
Alistair Darling

A career politician?
George Osborne

An economist?
Vince Cable

We choose the economist, and a highly regarded one. Vince Cable.

If the Chancellor of the Exchequer was a vacancy in the business world, with no disrespect at all to the other undoubted skillsets and capabilities of Alistair Darling and George Osborne, but they wouldn’t even be invited to interview. Fact.

So why should we put up with that for so-called UK plc?

What can you do to help?

A groundswell of public opinion consists of lots of little expressions of opinion.

You can help get the right man into the right job at the right time simply by expressing your opinion. Tell others. Tell everyone! Help them understand the simple fact that Vince Cable is the only viable candidate to run this country’s economy.

If you feel as strongly as we do about this, we’ve got plenty more ideas for how you can make a bigger impression…

Channel 4 Chancellors’ Debate

Blimey, that was an exciting hour’s telly, wasn’t it? And Vince won the vote on the Channel 4 microsite. The Guardian’s also got a poll running on its website. At the time of writing, Vince is winning that one too with nearly 49% of the vote, with Osborne on 25% and Darling nearly 27%.

The reaction from the media, from reading everything we can find on our Google News page, appears to approximate the split of the Guardian poll with half the sentiment favourable to Vince and half divided between Darling and Osborne.

This marks a potentially pivotal moment in UK politics. Can the UK electorate carry this declaration of support for Dr. Cable forward and put the man they think should be Chancellor in the job come Election 2010? The InVinceCable We Trust campaign will continue to lobby, with your support, for that to happen.

The InVinceCable We Trust campaign launches

It’s official! This campaign launched Monday 29th March. We thought the day of the Channel 4 Chancellors’ Debate was the perfect day to extend our reach out beyond the Twittersphere. Read the press release here.

Overview

This the hub of the InVinceCable We Trust campaign. Our objective is simple:

Harness a groundswell of the UK electorate such that, in the event of a hung parliament, the Prime Minister has no choice but to invite Vince Cable to be Chancellor of the Exchequer.

This website is our campaign central office if you will, the place where you’ll find information and resources that will let you become part of this exciting – some say groundbreaking – grassroots campaign. There’s the blog for latest news and views, campaign marketing material, ways for you to get involved and background on the man himself.

Political affiliations matter not a jot to us. We’re cross-party. We’re not linked to or supported in any way by Vince himself, the Liberal Democrats or, indeed, any political organisation. All we know is that Dr Vince Cable (he’s a doctor of economics you know) is the only man qualified to manage the British economy over the term of the next Government.
