The UK Independence Party selected its prospective Parliamentary candidate for Woodspring at a meeting in Yatton last week.

Anthony Butcher, a 29-year-old IT manager, was chosen at a meeting at the Prince of Orange pub, in Yatton.

As you see the candidate is the forums very own Anthony Butcher! He must be too modest to post it here, but I have no such modesty! Well done chap, a powerful article that puts UKIP in exactly the right light!

Well done Anthony Butcher, it is nice to read we have some young bright people in the party who are

willing to stand up and be counted.

Well done. We need more young, energetic, politically aware members to stand for UKIP.

Great news.

Yes, that article is dynamite stuff. Well done Tony, and congratulations!

Even praise from the 31 Y/O Lib Dem candidate, Mike Bell:-

Last week, the United Kingdom Independence Party selected their candidate for Woodspring for the General Election. They fielded a candidate last time and I welcome the fact that they have selected a 29 year old candidate this time. Even if I disagree with them on almost every issue - it is is encouraging that parties are prepared these days to endorse younger candidates than ever before.

Go Tony!

PS - Is the labour candidate only 21 - really?

Yes, he is very young, but Labour don't stand a chance here. Hence they are using it, presumably, to give him some experience.
