Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself'

If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

Conservative Party candidate selection hits the streets of Sudbury.



If you were out and about in Sudbury today you may have noticed groups of people with score sheets wandering around with individuals sporting blue rosettes.

I can reveal that this exercise was in fact part of the selection process for the Conservative Party Candidate who will stand in next year’s general election.   Each person, many of whom had travelled especially to Suffolk for the event, was asked to engage the citizens of Sudbury in conversation on topics of local and national importance.  They were observed and their demeanour and feedback was then assessed and scored by volunteers from the South Suffolk Conservative Association.

The candidates had been short listed from over 100 applications from people on the Conservative candidates list.   I am happy to say that there was a good balance of men and women, and all have experience of life outside politics (which is more than can be said for some of our current MP’s.)

This exercise is part of the process that is aimed at whittling the group down to a final short list of three or four.  All association members will be eligible to pick the candidate from this list, which  means that we have had to hire a rather large hall for the last stage! We expect to announce the identity of the candidate, all being well, within the next three weeks.

So watch this space!
