Most members should have recieved their ballot papers now (hopefully accompanied by details of the right candidates!). Please do remember to send them off in time.
We are grateful to those candidates that took the time to answer our questions and put themselves up for scrutiny. We've had a lot of positive feedback from members who have found them to be the only way they were able to judge candidates aside from the bland template sheets sent out with ballots.
For your information, the candidates we weren't able to get answers from were:
West Midlands: Mike Burnett and Mark Spelman.
North West: Jacqui Foster and Simon Baker.
North East: Sebastian A Leslie, Richard Bell, Barbara Musgrave and Gary Richardson.
Candidates in Scotland were only sent the questions towards the end of last week, and we still haven't been able to send them to those in Yorkshire.
Restanding MEPs who failed to supply answers:
- Philip Bradbourn
- Giles Chichester
- Den Dover
- James Elles
- Malcolm Harbour
- Sajjad Karim
- Timothy Kirkhope
- Edward McMillan-Scott
- Robert Sturdy
Philip Bushill-Matthews(retiring)
We'll be providing a pdf of all the answers later for you to download and email around.
