Shaun Bailey - Conservative, Hammersmith

By Shaun Bailey, Conservative on Mar 29, 10 12:02 PM

Shaun Bailey is a co-founder of My Generation, a charity set up to address the social problems that affect young people and their families, including anti-social behaviour, drug use, crime, teen pregnancy, educational underachievement and unemployment.

Shaun graduated in computer aided technology from South Bank University. Previously, he worked as a security guard at Wembley and the Trocadero to put himself through university. He grew up in the north Kensington area with his mother, brother, and granddad.

A dedicated gymnast with the Childs Hill Gymnastic Club for over twenty years, he won many competitions both nationally and internationally. He was also a member of the army cadet force for ten years, where he met one of the major influences in his life, Captain (now Colonel) Connolly--the man who always challenged him to do better and believed in him.

In 2007 he was selected to fight the new Hammersmith Parliamentary Constituency for the Conservatives. Drawn up by the independent
Boundary Commission, the new Hammersmith seat will consist of the whole borough that lies north of the Lillie Road. This will include most residents in the postal districts of W6, W12 and W14.

Driving Shaun's ideas are four clear principles:

He believes in the family.
He believes in community.
He believes in personal responsibility.
He believes people should respect each other.

Put simply, Shaun Bailey is not an average politician. He is bringing fresh thinking, not only to the Conservatives, but politics as a whole.

The choice at the next general election will be simple. More of the same from Labour - or a chance for real positive change.
