RSPB backed Vote for Bob nature campaign takes to Glasgow streets The Vote for Bob campaign is going nuts across the UK, and recently Bob himself took to the streets of Glasgow in a bid to crack more support. Katherine Jones from RSPB Scotland, the main supporter of Bob's campaign, explained the idea behind it. "Bob launched this campaign to show our MPs how much people care about nature," she said. We want as many people as possible to cast a vote for nature so we can show MPs that it is a vital issue, we also want MPs to get on board and we already have 50 politicians backing the campaign. The campaign is aimed at getting serious commitments to nature in the manifestos of the main political parties in the run up to the general election in May next year. So why should people Vote for Bob? "A vote is a way of showing our politicians that you think nature needs to be on the political agenda," Katherine said. By voting you are showing that you want our landscapes, our wildlife, our rivers and seas to be a key consideration when political decisions are made. The Government holds the key to halting wildlife declines - and we need the next administration to step up and act before it's too late. In just two hours of scrambling around Buchanan Street on Tuesday, Bob gained over 130 votes boosting the UK-wide support of nearly 114,000 people. Each time a member of the public "votes" for the furry figure, their local MP will receive an email saying they support nature and challenging them to take care of it. Glaswegians embraced Bob, with some even stopping for a selfie. "People were really interested in what we were doing and when they heard about the campaign everyone was really keen to get involved," Katherine said. Bob turned out to be a real hit. She added: "We only started the campaign in Glasgow yesterday and in two hours out on Buchanan Street we got over 130 people voting Bob, there was pretty much a constant stream of people."
