The Scottish Conservative and
Unionist Party is in the process of ‘ranking’ its candidates for the 2016
Scottish Parliament election. The higher up the list a candidate is ranked, the
better their chance of being elected next year.
In the past, it’s only been the
members of political parties who have had a say in candidate rankings. But this
time, the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party is doing things differently.
Everyone who supports the party has been sent a ballot paper to help decide
their Scottish Conservative representatives in Holyrood.
The north east region has an excellent
slate of candidates and on Sunday I attended a hustings meeting at Castle Green
Leisure Centre in Broughty Ferry to listen to them debate.
