By ElectMichelle 2010 Team

Last week, various activists including the National Executive’s own Chris Hampsheir and Michelle Donelan led a team to Wentworth and Dearne to campaign on behalf of Michelle, who is the only National Executive member fighting for a Parliamentary seat at the upcoming General Election.

Support Michelle for Wentworth & Dearne

Come and celebrate the announcement of a General Election with the birthday boy and girl (and Conservative Parliamentary candidate) Michelle Donelan! (Michelle’s turning 26 and Dom’s turning 33!)
We have a private room booked at Jewel Bar, Piccadilly Circus – 7pm.

Name: Chris Pich
Role: Representative CF Officer Hull North
What makes you a Conservative?
Even though I am new to the world of politics and have only been a Conservative voter for a few years I realise the importance of a decentralised strong state, the idea of social responsibility, freedom and the protection of rural communities. It is time to put an end to the failed “Labour Project” and have hope and faith in the Conservative Party to bring about real change.

I am currently liasing with a …
