    Why did Libertas abandon its "National Tour"?

    Libertas embarked on what it called "the first leg" of its National Tour on April 21st-25th last, holding 4 public evening meetings.

    They also said that

    A further tour to cover the south will be announced in the coming weeks
    However this seems to have been quietly abandoned since then. There is nothing else on their website about further meetings, nor have they advertised any further meetings or excursions.

    What was the reason for this I wonder?

    Their website's front-page hasn't been updated for a couple of days now either.

    Not enough members/staff/volunteers to do the work?

    And will there be public meetings as there were in April?

    There was one on Tuesday one last night, a few debates over the coming days - we're actually busy rather than sitting online all the time.

    The bus was parked outside the Burlington hotel yesterday but there was little sign of any activity. Libertas appear to be running out of steam.

    It's all canvassing this weekend and for the final days.

    Having meetings tend to only bring out no voters. We want to change minds and convince people, not preach to the converted.
