> Previous nomination: General Sir Mike Jackson
"Dr Tim Evans is a former Chief Executive of the Centre for the New Europe in Brussels (2002-2005), Director of Public Affairs at the Independent Healthcare Association in London (1993-2002), and Head of the Slovak Prime Minister's Policy Unit in Bratislava (1991).
"Today, he is Managing Director of the predictive public affairs consultancy Farsight SPI and Director of Business Development for the Stockholm Network. He is also the Senior Fellow for Personal Liberties at the Adam Smith Institute and a Senior Fellow with the Centre for the New Europe.
"He has a PhD from the London School of Economics and has recently been made a member of the Mont Pelerin Society.
"He is a family man living in London, with his wife Dr Helen Evans, who also is involved in campaigning for greater nursing independence.
"I believe that his experience in rebuilding a shattered economy after years of socialist ruination would be invaluable to a new Parliament, and his experience in Brussels as a sceptic invaluable in helping forge our relations with Europe."
