Rumour has it that the Conservative Party is to ditch the torch logo introduced by Margaret Thatcher and that a creative agency has been hired to come up with something new.
We are looking for your suggestions. What do you think might make a good symbol of the modern, progressive Conservative Party that David Cameron appears to want?
How about a blue rose? What do you think of a blue chameleon called “Dave”? Should the torch be kept? Are the blue “Change to Win” boxes the best way of representing the Party?
Leave your suggestions here and when we have enough, we will run a poll to select a contender!
So the Conservative Party has decided to run a form of open primary to help select its candidate for London Mayor.
Primaries have their supporters, but opinion on the ground appears to be mixed so we thought we would run a poll to see what readers of this blog think.
If you want some more information before you vote there is a summary of the proposals on the BBC News site here.
Well done to Bob Neill on being selected as the candidate for the upcoming Bromley and Chislehurst by-election. See the BBC story here.
Bob has twice been elected to represent the area on the Greater London Assembly. He is just the sort of strong local candidate that the TRG believes the exceptions to the “A-list” rules were designed to encompass.
His selection is not a “blow” against the concept of the A-list at all, contrary to some media comment. Two strong members of the A-list made it to the final round of the selection proving there were strong, viable candidates on the list – just what was intended.
