One of these things is not like the others, one of these things is not quite the same..
South-east Surrey has just selected Patrick Haveron. I don’t know why we don’t get included in these lists.
south-west. I mean
If your seat has just selected, you wouldn’t expect to appear on a list of seats yet to select, surely?
Not as such, but we haven’t been on lists of seats that are yet to select either. Anyway, we have a PPC, Hooray.
Actually, Jenny, you were on at least two such lists. Hence, although no longer a member, I knew the closing date for applications, from a list like the one above: and, from a subsequent list, the date of the hustings.
I think I’m right in saying that SWS actually appeared on a list such as the one above more than once. Did they not have to abort an earlier selection process due to lack of applicants?
