Hartlepool Candidate Election

The following has been circulated by Peter Troy, disgraced North East region MEP candidate and failed lead candidate in Scotland in the Euro elections last June:-

A meeting of the Hartlepool Branch of UKIP will be held at The Grand Hotel in Hartlepool on Wednesday 11 August 04 starting at 7pm, to select the candidate for the by-election. My understanding at this time is that two people have put them -selves forward. Chris Williamson, a local businesswoman and party activist and Stephen Allinson a local, or perhaps former, independent councillor. It has been reported today that the high profile media personality Robert Kilroy- Silk MEP will not be standing in Hartlepool for UKIP.

Other nominations for the Hartlepool candidature can perhaps be expected today.

In the meantime the local committee have been busy this week end leafleting the
towns voters.

My understanding is that the local members decision will be subject to confirmation by the party's NEC.

I believe as a fully paid up member of UKIP (newly rejoined for this specific campaign!), my candidature is worthy of some consideration. I hope my credentials and potential will also be considered this time tomorrow evening as I feel I have much to offer the euro-realist cause.

I know nothing of the Independent Councillor, Stephen Allinson and if he is elected will happily abide by the decision of the local party members, who of course must have the personal knowledge I lack.

I hope there are more than these two candidates, however, and that Peter Troy's report is as inaccurate as others he has been known to issue in the past.

If UKIP wishes to campaign on an anti-EU rather than local-issues basis, please urge the party and any local UKIP Hartlepool members you might know, to have my name considered on the ballot. My general views can be read in depth from Ironies here , Teetering Tories from here and The Strasbourg Cesspit from here.

I believe that with Robert Kilroy-Silk and the other MEPs campaigning strongly, good financing and solid cross-country UKIP support - Hartlepool is easily winnable on a straightforward anti-corrupt politician, anti-mainstream party and anti-EU platform.

I stand ready to go for it...What can we...the United Kingdom Independence Party possibly lose!!!!
