Re: Parliamentary Selections (#1)

Is it me or am I continuing to see the East Dunbartonshire selection in all new updates by some time? Have they delayed it?

Re: Parliamentary Selections (#2)

Considering having a crack at Richmond.  Would be fun to take on Hague - what do you reckon?

Re: Parliamentary Selections (#3)

I was Labour's parliamentary candidate for Richmond in 2005 and loved every minute of it.  It was a great experience to fly the flag in what is the safest of Conservative seats, particularly as a local lad.

The parliamentary opponent inevitably means that the seat attracts lots more potential candidates than other seats. But if anyone is at this stage even slightly interested I'd urge you to put yourself forward for representing Labour in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.

If anyone would like to know any more information about the seat and what it's like to have a public debate with William Hague :-) don't hesitate to contact me directly at neilrfoster@yahoo.co.uk or speak with John Blevins the Procedures Secretary.
