A Record of Party Service

I hope my record of political activity speaks for itself.

As both a Westminster and a Scottish parliamentary candidate, in Glasgow and the West of Scotland, I have increased the Conservative vote every time – even when there has been a swing against the Party nationally. I travel across the country addressing lunch clubs and constituency functions as often as I can and am a regular contributor to radio and TV broadcasts, including a prominent role in the recent BBC Documentary “Why Didn’t Scots Vote Tory?” presented by Sally Magnusson, as well as contributing newspaper commentaries.

Political Experience (abbreviated version):

1985 - Joined Eastwood Young Conservatives

1993 to 1995 - Chairman of West of Scotland Young Conservatives
2001 - Westminster Candidate for Glasgow Cathcart
