LONDON (March, 1996) - To get Fp's message out to a larger audience, Vice-president Lloyd Walker has been busy moving our sister publication, consent, into the computer age. Consent: The Electronic Edition is now available. Every issue of Consent from #1 to #24, and including our special edition on Democracy, is ready to move onto a computer screen near you.

Lloyd has created self-contained programs that run under Windows. They are easy to install (type 'setup' and sit back) and easy to use (just follow the menu choices). All of the articles are there for you to read. Even the quotations found at the bottom of the pages of Consent (a popular feature) are displayed at random at the bottom of the screen.

Lloyd has also created a game. Slots is a simple gambling game that, win or lose, gets Freedom Party's message of fiscal responsibility through loud and clear. lt's guaranteed to make Fp supporters laugh and to make socialists pull the plug on their computer. Finally there's a StopWatch that allows you to run up to five different timers at once. It was one accessory left out of Windows that proved very helpful for timing speeches during the last election.

All of the programs have been kept small to allow them to fit on a single diskette and to make uploading or downloading quick and easy. A single disk contains all 24 Consent issues and, as a bonus, the Fp StopWatch program. Also available are zipped versions, suitable for uploading onto your favourite bulletin board.

This is just the start of Lloyd's work. He's already searching through our computer files to bring Freedom Flyer and our other publications (issue papers, presentations, reports, etc.) into electronic formats as well. We will keep you posted.
