’s top roles of national secretary says he hopes to improve the representation of “ordinary members” in the party’s ruling body.
Others who have put their names forward include convener of the SNP’s Peterhead branch David Birkett, SNP councillor Kelly Parry and another candidate, Duncan Mitchell. “At the moment, 33 of them fall into that category out of the 42. Elected members are less than 1% of our membership, but they are 78% of our governing body.
He added: “I thought to myself if someone who is a very ordinary member runs for the NEC and gets on it and tries to encourage other people, very ordinary members, to join in, then hopefully we will increase our representation there.” “I’ll be seeking re-election for a final term to deliver and embed the vital reforms under way to ensure we fully utilise our mass membership.”
