Our candidates must reflect the new Conservative party, the party of Darlington and Doncaster as much as Devon and Dorset, the party of mill towns and mining towns as much as the metropolis.
So today I’m announcing that we are reopening the candidates list for the next general election with a big open call for candidates.
We don’t mind what you do, what job you do, what you look like, how old you are, or where you’re from. We’re just looking for people with real political conviction who instinctively share our Conservative values. We’re looking for people with judgement, with integrity, and with wide-ranging life experiences.
And, for the first time, candidates will be put through a new process, a process that matches the very best in class from organisations and businesses all around the world, and gives us the most representative and best candidates we’ve ever had.
