Runners and Riders

CCHQ will be pleased that there is a big field so far for Chairman of Conservative Future. What could possibly go wrong?

These lot haven't declared officially but TB has seen or heard the makings of their campaigns from:

Michelle Donelan
Ben Howlett
Kit Friend
James Morton
Simon Cavalier-Jones

Rumoured:
Patrick Sullivan
Oli Cooper

Fund-raising has started, though because the campaign is over the summer there will be none of the usual tactic of going to university braches, getting everyone drunk and promising them the world. Candidates are going to have to actually think up new ways of reaching out.

Little disappointed not to see Emma Carr on the list.

The straw poll is still running
.

Decided first week of September apparently.

watch out Simon Cavalier-Jones, A man with a plan! I think he will be great asset to CF and I am sure his strategies will build the CF as a strong political voice with in the Conservative Party!

Not the most exciting field ever, some I know well some not so much.

My opinion is as follows:

Michelle Donelan: Seems to want Power for the sake or power, in my view just what is wrong with CF.

Ben Howlett: Has no ideas and keep's e-mailing everybody asking for some.

Kit Friend: Nice guy.

James Morton: No comment for fear of legal action.

Simon Cavalier-Jones, don't know much about him.

Patrick Sullivan: Good drinker, think you need more to be chairman.

Oliver Cooper: Umm, think he is in the same category as Donelan.
