Hello, I am one of the numerous redditors who takes part in /r/MHOC.

I am personally from Oxford, the city which I was born in and have lived in all of my life. I am therefore standing in the Thames Valley constituency in MHOC.

/r/MHOC (Model House of Commons) is a political simulation and community with over 3,200 members. We have been in existence since 2014.

I know this post may feel a bit like spam, and it may seem like we are a bunch of complete weirdos, but it is actually a really fun community. When I first joined last year, I was really surprised that this place existed, but once I got involved its really fun to simulate politics, but also to meet new people who share your interests and we have casual conversations in Discord chats.

Anyway, a general election is currently underway, which is our sixth general election. I would like to kindly ask if you could take a minute of your time and vote.

If you would like to find out more about /r/MHOC and how it works, we have a guide for new members (found on /r/MHOC sidebar) and also a lovely wiki. You can find my wiki page here.

I am a member of the Liberal Democrats in MHoC and currently standing for election to hopefully become an MP for the first time.

The MHoC Liberal Democrats are a liberal, centrist and broad church political party, ranging from social-liberals to centrists to economic liberals. We stand for building a free and fair society, with opportunity for all.

Our proudest achievements as a party include delivering a Digital Bill of Rights, which put an end to the Snooper's Charter issue, we extended the right for same-sex couples to be married in Northern Ireland and we are legislating to deal with the issue of secularisation, as well as terrorism laws. We introduced Universal Basic Income, a policy which has meant that no one is left too poor in our society and we have also introduced the Digital Bill of Rights, to ensure that our privacy is respected and not violated and we lowered the voting age to 16, so that a voice is given to those who deserve it. The Liberal Democrats will continue to legislate even further like this in the next term.

Last election, the Liberal Democrats were returned as the largest party in the Model House of Commons with 19 out of 100 seats which led to us being in government with a Liberal Democrat prime minister for the first time. However, we need your help to make sure we remain a powerful force in parliament. We must defeat the extreme parties on both the far-left and far-right, who could easily get a vast number of votes with their intensive advertising regimes.

We would be really grateful if you could vote for the Liberal Democrats, which will only take less than a minute.
