Re: You asked a good question (none / 1)

But one day you are going to actually have to run for office... :)

I got an e-mail on May 25 about candidate selection for the European Parliament with an application deadline on July 2. It turns out (as I found out today) that for England the real deadline was May 25. Go figure.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

Re: You asked a good question (none / 1)

Can anyone apply to be a candidate for the European Parliament? (Are they elected? If so, by whom?) Why did you get the e-mail?

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

Re: You asked a good question (none / 1)

Because I am a member of the party. The applicants get vetted by a committee to get on a shortlist for selection by the members. I missed a number of deadlines, not all of them because of this stupid e-mail I got.

It's probably possible to run as an independent as well, as opposed to on a party list.

Which party is this?

Running for office is a huge time committment.

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
