Hustings meeting

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.
