Please recognise the vital role of charities in safeguarding the rights of vulnerable minorities. Should this bill curb their ability to speak out for those who have no voice, our democracy would be greatly weakened.

As well as being unjust and incalculably harmful to many of the most vulnerable people, having to waste my time standing up against this obvious nonsense is just getting annoying.

This particular member of the WI is worried that she is going to be reduced to singing: Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! However, only as long as the combined cost of said items is lower than the new reduced threshold for registration or within the overall spending limits or the constituent parts are within the combined spending limits where they may individually appear. I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand. Unless it is in the year prior to an election that has been called, or might reasonably be expected to be called. In which case I must be quiet in case I inadvertently advocate a policy that may held or may come to be held by a Political Party, within that time frame. Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land. Assuming that we can be consulted in the relevant planning permission for such an outcome and that no Political Party is calling for this outcome in its Manifesto.

A bill like this has the potential for unintended consequences which could impinge upon our freedom of speech.

Although I accept the Governments view with regard to Lobbying, I must disagree with the way this will impinge on the free individuals right to lobby for, or against, future legislation with which they disagree!
This Bill is an extraordinary threat to basic principles of democracy

The Lobbying Bill needs substantial amendment as proposed by Lord Harries.

We need to ensure that campaigning bodies are not prevented from pursuing their campaigns in the approach to elections, when their voices can be most effective.

Never a time when openness and transparency are more important and discussion about key issues needs to be unfettered

No law should stop citizens and citizen groups from trying to influence politicians or there fellow citizens.
