I'm astonished that you recommend a vote for the Conservatives in Barnet. When Barnet Council debated civil partnerships a year or two back, several Conservative councillors absented themselves from the council chamber to avoid voting for or against, as they oppose civil partnerships on religious grounds. Actually I am not gay, although a third of Barnet's Liberal Democrat councillors are openly gay, as it happens. Your readers should vote for whichever party they think is best equipped to deal with the issues that matter locally, but I would strongly caution against any assumption that Barnet's Conservative councillors are, as a group, especially well-disposed towards the LGBT communities.

Seems all the parties are pro and con LGBTTQI rights. Damn, so I guess my support will be based on another single issue... like ID cards. Tory or Lib Dem? Try again. Electoral reform and the future possibility of a republic then. Lib Dems! I'm happy to vote orange! I like Davie "Boy" Cameron to, but hey, I still bear scars from the Thatcher years.
