Today sees the launch of Labour Yes! – the Labour Party’s Yes to Fairer Votes Campaign, together with a well branded website in line with the main Yes! campaign website.
One of the things that caught my eye was
Get involved
The Labour Yes Campaign is looking for volunteers to be Labour Yes Champions in every constituency in the UK. If you are interested in becoming the Champion for your area please email volunteer@labouryes.org.uk
The Campaign will be organising campaign activity alongside regular Labour campaigning sessions. If you would like to talk to us about bringing Labour Yes volunteers to your area, please get in touch with us at volunteer@labouryes.org.uk
Yes Champions?
Is this something that we should be looking at within all the political parties? I think so. If every party had a Yes champion in every constituency this would be a great help to the Yes campaign.
In every constituency in the UK?
Can I put my hand up and ask does this include that part of the UK known as Northern Ireland? I know that there are Labour members here in Northern Ireland, just like there are members of the Liberal Democrats (remember we have our AGM tonight postponed from two weeks ago).

The national Non-Partisan campaign is also building a grass roots campaign and drawing volunteers from all backgrounds to help achieve a yes vote in May. Here are the contact details for the Northern Ireland phonebank. http://www.yestofairervotes.org/page/s/NorthernIrelandPhonebank
There is an online phonebank to call voters from home which is quite fun when you get going!
