The NEC looks set to announce the latest round of seats that will select their parliamentary candidates in 2012. With the exception of High Peak in Derbyshire, all the other seats are Labour marginals in the South and East of England.
The seats due to kick off their selection process in 2012 are:
The seats due to kick off their selection process in 2012 are:
- Billericay & Great Dunmow
- Bristol North West
- Bristol West
- Cambridge
- Dorset South
- Great Yarmouth
- Norwich North
- Swindon North
- Watford
Because of the lack of certainty created by the Brighton boundary review one or more of the Brighton area seats may begin their selection, but subject to the outcome of consultation with the local parties.
A decision is expected in January as to which of these seats will be All Women Shortlist and which will be open selections.
So far six PPCs have been selected in the South: Anne Snelgrove (Swindon South), Andrew Pakes (Milton Kenyes South), David Ellesmere (Ipswich), Bob Blizzard (Waveney), Sharon Taylor (Stevenage) and Clive Lewis (Norwich South). Four other selections are due to conclude befoer the end of 2011 - Thurrock, Hastings, Harlow and Stroud.

I'm amazed Billericay are selecting, as that's a seat where we very definitely aren't in contention, whereas the neighbouring Basildon seat is one of the seats we need to win to achieve a majority. Is there some reason for this?
ReplyDeleteI think it will be the successor seat to South Basildon that will be selecting.
ReplyDeleteIt's an error! It should say S Basildon and E Thurrock.
