NEC Elections

This week's Independence magazine is accompanied by a ballot paper for elections to the National Executive Council - a whole side of A4 paper!

A bumper crop of 37 people have put themselves forward for election onto the NEC:

Charles Dodman	Christopher Pain	David Black
David Coburn	David Duxbury	David Macey
David Rowlands	Derek Evans	Donald Mackay
Elizabeth Burton	George Curtis	Hilary Jones
Hugh Williams	James Moyies	Jill Seymour
Jim Macarthur	John Harrison	Julia Reid
Kathleen Garner	Lee Slaughter	Louise Bours
Marilyn Swain	Marion Mason	Michael McGough
Mike Hookem	Nigel Carter	Paul Henke
Paula Daly	Ralph Atkinson	Ray Finch
Rob McWhirter	Steve Allison	Steve Povey
Terry Durrance	Toby Micklethwait	Tony McIntyre
Winston McKenzie

Well done to all the current NEC members who are asking to stay on and to the new candidates that have put their head above the parapet rather than skulking in the corner complaining about the leadership of the party.

NEC candidates aren't allowed to actively campaign during the election but they can answer questions so we are offering all candidates a brief interview which will be posted here on Bloggers4UKIP.  The first one will be posted here shortly.
