Anyone here ever stood for election for anything? A proper one, with paper votes and leaflets etc. Did you win? I stood once as a 'shock' NUR candidate for the traditionally TSSA-held London-Birmingham clerical regional rep once on BR. Had a leaflet with my personal message and an endorsement from Jimmy Knapp. Didn't win, but ran the complacent TSSA incumbent very close!
NUR candidate for the traditionally TSSA-held London-Birmingham clerical regional rep once on BR That's the most uniony sentence Ive read this year
I did once 2nd someone for a Student union position. The person I represented won and one of the people they beat eventually went on to be the University student union president and current a front bench Tory MP so I think I did a decent job. I'm definitely campaign manager rather than candidate as I'm not into the shmoozing and socialising that's needed to get votes.
I stood once as a complacent NUR candidate for the traditionally TSSA-held London-Birmingham clerical regional rep once on BR. I won by a mile.
In my hall at university in 1995 I got elected on to the hall committee, I was one of two Rag reps, although I came second there were 5 candidates in total for the two posts.
If you sent somebody on their way to becoming a front bench member of the current shower, you should be ashamed of yourself. You would have done better to have promoted a Tory to achieve a shock win in the London-Birmingham clerical region.
I couldn’t put myself up for any sort election for fear of becoming like the people I’m proposing to replace.
I went door to door with a friend who was standing for local council when I was young. I realised then that I didn't want to represent the general public as I don't actually like many of them.
I stood for an election once and was elected unopposed. Decide for yourself whether 1) I'm brilliant, or 2) nobody else wanted to do it
No the person I seconded beat the current Tory front bencher. Funnily enough the chap that beat the Tory MP is now a vicar
