On Standing for Election to the Council of Unlock Democracy

[danieldwilliam]

Following some clarification of the electoral rules by the returning officer I can now say on social media that I am standing for election for the council of Unlock Democracy.

Those of you who are members and live in the North Constituency will have already received your ballot papers and seen me on them.

You can ask candidates questions here

  

Polls close on the 21^st June.

Was he part of Charter 88 or part of the Communist Party of Great Britain?

We’re unlikely to be part of the same constituency. I think he’ll be West and I’m North.

He could've come to the organisation through New Politics Network/Democratic Left (Charter 88 was its own thing from its start 'till it merged NPN to become UD, whereas it went CPGB -> Democratic Left -> NPN -> merger to form UD.

It does still amuse me when we get accused of being funded by Communist gold. Always by their gold, not by their negotiable bonds, diamonds, rubles, whatever.

Gold has a certain James Bond / Conquisidor quality to it.
