Hi!

A volunteer group called Democracy Club are collecting the CV of every
candidate for Parliament.

http://cv.democracyclub.org.uk/

I think this is really important - following various ministerial second job
scandals, and to help voters learn the skills and background of candidates.

Could you write about it, so they can get more CVs in?


Some other info:

Blog post about why they're doing it, including some links to specific CVs

Hiya :)

These people are collecting the CV of every candidate for Parliament.

http://cv.democracyclub.org.uk/

There's some juice in there:

    A candidate who used to teach Nigel Farage!

    Howling 'Laud' Hope of the Monster Raving Loony

    (he's standing against Boris!)

    "A true polymath" (!)

    The Whigs have reformed

And maybe more - browse all the CVS yourself:

This is not only fun, but super important in a time of second jobs
scandals etc.

If you do write about it, please ask people to use the site to bug
their candidates to upload more!

Thanks!

<your name>


P.S. Of course, if we get every candidate's CV, we'll 
then have every MP's CV... Leading to the joy of double
checking back on them for years to come!
