“There are people who have been candidates before, Councillors, Doctors, business leaders, charity campaigners.”

Be nice to everyone and all that.

Drugs ruin peoples lives, break up families and have disastrous effects on our communities.

I feel I can serve to the best of my abilities, and where I feel I can make a real difference, and further their cause.

People have become increasingly disenchanted with the process assuming that all politicians will say anything to gain power, and then never follow through.

I am lucky enough to be selected for. Looks play no part in the equation, what matters is your ideas and connecting them to the electorate.

There is a real diversity of talent and background on the A list so as to better reflect our society in all walks.

For me it’s more important to look at each constituency individually and find a community

After believing in promises made and never fulfilled by Labour

The evidence that things are changing fast can be seen in the dramatic increase in the influence of blogging.

But also utilise the youth media they relate to to better connect them to our message.

I’m the first to admit I’ve had a sheltered life.

We should be collecting emails as we used to collect telephone numbers and using them to better communicate our message to key voters.

I grew up in the country and went to a boarding school. It was all just part of the business

With regard to the youth vote we should encourage them to partake in the process, making more use of our education system to show the role Government plays in their lives

I think a good MP is someone who cares for their community and becomes their champion, which is why I will make my home in any seat

And I for one don’t believe the Conservative Party would abuse that trust by selecting someone who did not have the goods to do the job, just for the sake of media coverage.

A candidate could easily commit political suicide if he were to come up with an unconventional thought during a presidential tour.

Anyway, I just haven’t been able to find any humanity in any Republican candidate ever in my entire life.

The people will have the right to elect their representatives from a list of candidates [who have been approved by the Party].

I think God has blessed us. He has blessed the Republican Party with some very good candidates. The Democrats can’t even find one.

I do think we should be focused on substance and record. If you want a candidate who opposes amnesty, who opposes citizenship for the 12 million people here illegally, I’m the only candidate in the race who opposes that.

It’s not beneficial when you have a presidential candidate like Donald Trump, telling his supporters “punch that guy in the face.” I think everyone candidate ought to aspire toward civility, towards decency, towards bringing us together. I don’t think we should be using angry and hateful rhetoric.

If you want a candidate who is led the fight against Obamacare, who will lift the burdens on small businesses and bring back jobs, I’m the only candidate in the race with that proven record.

I think if you’re at home and you don’t want Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee, then the only candidate who can beat Donald is our campaign. And so I would encourage, even if you like another candidate, stand with us if you don’t want Donald to be the nominee.
