The last of the Welsh constituency (first past the post) candidates was selected last night. The list of forty is copied below, the demographics of the new line-up are interesting.
The average age of the candidates is 38, with an even spread of candidates in their 20s (Craig Williams is just 21), 30s and 40s. There are also a couple more women standing than last time, and a dozen or so first-time candidates. If you include the candidates so far elected for the regional lists, ten Conservative candidates in Wales can speak Welsh.
