In the weeks running up to 2010 UK election ONE asked party leaders to go ‘On the Record’ with their plans for fighting extreme poverty.
On 6 May 2010 the UK went to polls in what was the closest General Election for a generation.
How the new coalition Goverment will work in practice remains to be seen, but as the new Prime Minister David Cameron said in his video for our ONE Vote 2010 campaign:
"...the major political parties do have major differences but we are agreed on this: Britain has a moral responsibility to help the world’s poorest people. This is about the kind of country we want to be."
Anti-poverty group ONE today launched an innovative online and grassroots campaign designed to give new voice to voters’ concerns about global poverty in the run-up to the general election.
