Re: [LUG] Government IT policy

[Terry Hill <telbonic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I happen to know how we could sort out the Lib Dems ( I
don't know the internal workings of other parties though so can't
comment on them ) - it's "just" a matter of establishing a special
interest group feeding into a Working Group (to set policy) and having
a well-briefed spokesperson (to speak on policy and issues).

So the first stage to this would be setting up the group?  I'd say after reading this lug for a few years that the people are here, already connected and speaking a common language.
 

Then the politicos and activisists can defer to the specialists in the
party, and groups like the Association of Lib Dem Councillors can
collaborate on local government IT with the working group.

Is it possible for a special interest group to lobby all parties? 
Eg:  Not have an official political leaning...
