SE Euro candidates selected

Post 1,000!

Caroline has won the Euro MEP nomination for the South East (no surprise), followed by Keith Taylor and then yours truly.

Miriam drops from third which seems a shame given her economics work and I think it is a shame Nigel Tart isn't quite in the first 11 because he is a sterling camapigner on LGBT and TU stuff and election agent for Brighton.

seems to be Principal speakers get the posts...last time it was of course Caroline followed by the late and much lamented Mike Woodin...I was in position 8 then....

here is the announcement

Hey Derek, well done on the Euro List position, shame you're not heading the list though...
I'm also happy to see Jonathan Essex on the list a great guy.

Congrats Derek, good to see a Green Left candidate high up. Am I right in thinking that the rules now are that somone can't be an MEP and MP at the same time. Therefore if the Greens get two MEPs at the next election and then Caroline subsequently wins Brighton Pavillion (as I hope and think she will), that you will be next in line to be sent to Brussels?!

In solidarity,

James

thanks for the kind comments, I am not expecting to be an MEP any time soon but hopefully Caroline will win as an MEP and Keith will become the new MEP.

I am just interested in continuing to push radical green politics aka ecosocialism!

Two MEPs would be great but it will take lots of work
