Crowdsourcing our manifesto gave us control of the Council – and saw our parliamentary candidate returned successfully to Westminster with a thumping majority.
Plus: we profile the latest tranche of newly selected candidates.
The former Army officer won out against Alicia Kearns and Joe Robertson.
Alicia Kearns joins Joe Robertson and Bob Seely in the island contest.
That’s two of the original three out of the contest: Seely remains in it. The selection will take place later this week.
CCHQ has been taken to task elsewhere for imposing lists of candidates on seats with no connection to it. It certainly hasn’t done so in this case.
Bob Seely is a former journalist who served with British forces in Iraq from June 2008 to February 2009.

Bob Seely served with British forces in Iraq from June 2008 to February 2009 and was awarded the Joint Commander’s Commendation in September. He is on the Conservative Parliamentary candidates' list. St Paul’s is a special place at best of times: austere yet stunningly visual and on a grand, national scale. On Friday it was […]
