People here in Westminster and the City of London will head to the polls on Thursday 4th June to elect Members of the European Parliament. It's not always possible for everybody to get to a polling station on the day, and if you think you might not make it then why not sign up for a postal vote right now. You can do it online now at http://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk

If you're not even on the voting register at the moment, don't worry - you can register on the site as well.

The Liberal Democrats are in a unique position in these elections - and not just to win new seats. Basically, our approach to Europe is the only one that makes sense in the current economic climate.

Remember the last European elections? No credit crunch, no recession, no meteoric rise in job losses. Most of our banks were still riding high, and Iceland was still one of the safest and juiciest investment centres in Europe.

Now Iceland is pursuing early entry to the euro to claw itself back to economic health. What a difference a year makes! Isolationist Iceland has had to face up to the weakness in "going it alone".

We just can't solve most of today's biggest problems - on the economy, on the environment and on international security - without European co-operation. It's as simple as that, and it's what the Liberal Democrats have been saying all along.

So get out and vote for the Liberal Democrats this June. Even better, get it off your to-do list now by signing up for a postal vote!
