Despite the desperate efforts of Labour to claim if people vote LibDem they will get Cameron or the Conservatives’ desperate efforts to claim that if you vote LibDem you will get Brown – this time actually if you vote Liberal Democrat – you will get Liberal Democrats.

And that’s why the old parties are in a spin. They don’t know how to deal with a new politics – only that old unfair, scaremongering, discredited type of politics.

You can tell from the roar of anger by old parties at the Liberal Democrats daring to do well – and their outrage that people liked what they saw and what they heard in the Leader debates (when we finally had an even playing field to lay out our stall) that they don’t like a  fair fight. They’re not used to it.

Until now everything from the political system to the media coverage to the amount the old parties have to spend on elections has been all in their favour.

We still don’t have the same level of funding – and the political system hasn’t changed (I’m sure people scratch their heads when they see the graphs constantly in the media that show us top or second on percentage of the vote – but when projected into parliamentary seats getting only about a third as many seats as either of the other two) – but this time we had an equal media platform in the Leader debates. And what a difference that has made.

Out in the streets it is absolutely amazing. I was at a community event in Stroud Green ward on Saturday where local people set out little stalls in front of their houses selling plants, old books and so on – and as I walked around everyone was smiling and wanting to talk about politics and how exciting it was – and yes – voting for us! People ran across the street to talk to me.

In one street in another ward, Crouch End, there is a little hand made diamond poster on a stick in a front garden, handwritten and coloured in: ‘Liberal Democrat and in small writing – Liberal Democrats winning here’ crayoned in our colours. I knocked on the door and met the little girl who had made the sign. She had watched the first debate with her mother and wanted to make a Liberal Democrat stake board for her front garden.

I think there is just such a feeling of relief and hope – that the old order is breaking down – and change is at last really possible.

With people across the country turning to support the Liberal Democrats – often for the first time – new members are also flooding in. Joining the party is a great way of showing your support, boosting the party’s chances in the election – and gives you a say in how the party is run and what the party’s policies are.

You can join the party quickly and easily online right now: www.libdems.org.uk/join_us.aspx

I am a genuine local girl – from Highate Primary school, to Muswell Hill Youth Club, to my aunt’s net curtaining shop in Wood Green High Road – where my mother used to drop me sometimes to play in the back while she went to work – to getting married at the Civic Centre.

In this film I talk about my roots in the constituency and some of the issues I have taken up on behalf of the 28,000 people I have helped over the years.

So here’s the film:

Tomorrow’s the deadline to get on the register to vote – but there’s still time to get the form from www.aboutmyvote.co.uk, print it off and put it in the post first class or drop it round to the council in person.

This is shaping up to be one of most exciting general elections we’ve had in Britain – so make sure you don’t miss out on your chance to take part!
