The following links are websites that are either connected with the Conservative Party or Nottingham East. Please note that I do not politically endorse any website that does not represent the Conservative Party below.
1) CONSERVATIVE PARTY - The United Kingdom's official website of the British Conservative Party, now led by Prime Minister David Cameron.
2) NOTTINGHAM CONSERVATIVES - The City of Nottingham's Conservative Party website.
3) EMMA McCLARKIN MEP - At least we did well when it came to electing Conservative Members of European Parliament in 2009 - we elected two of them. Here is one of them, who was first elected in 2009 to replace Christopher Heaton-Harris, who is now Tim Boswell's sucessor as Member of Parliament for Daventry.
4) ROGER HELMER MEP - ...And here is the other one. (By the way, UKIP lost one, which is just as well, considering Robert "Kilroy" Silk shirking his duties as an MEP and doing the decent thing - standing down. UKIP, Veritas, Independent, I'm A Celebrity etc - my head is spinning! Why doesn't Mr Kilroy-Silk go back into television?)
5) EWAN LAMONT - A page about Ewan Lamont, the Conservative candidate for Nottingham East at the recent General Election, straight from the main Conservative Party website. Pity that he ended third a la Jim Thornton.
6) CONSERVATIVE HOME - SEATS AND CANDIDATES - This blog website mentions the constituency and also our 2010 candidate Ewan Lamont. (And the link that Jonathan Isaby has put at the end of it seems rather familiar...)
7) CHRIS LESLIE - The "newly" elected Member of Parliament for Nottingham East at the 2010 General Election, who had the accolade of being the youngest Member of Parliament elected back in 1997 when he represented Shipley. But Shipley constituents saw common sense at last in 2005 and told Leslie to "go away" to make way for Philip Davies, which is someone that Nottingham East should have had ourselves. Now we are stuck with him.
8) NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL - The council that serves Nottingham East, as well as a being a well-known local bureaucrat that is in charge of everything that goes on in Nottingham.
9) NOTTINGHAM POST - Local newspaper for Nottingham, and has been so since Wednesday 1st May 1878. Microfilm editions of the newspaper, which are on the first floor of a newly refurbished Nottingham Central Library, have helped me to compile some of the information seen on this website.
10) BBC NOTTINGHAM - The BBC's local Nottingham website.
11) NUMBER TEN DOWNING STREET - The administrative office of the British Prime Minister.
12) HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT - The bastion of British democracy, even though the Nottingham East seat in the House of Commons looks a little bit too red for my liking...
13) THE UNITED KINGDOM EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT - Not quite updated from the last European Parliament election yet, methinks.
14) LEIGH RAYMENT'S PEERAGE PAGE - Lists every constituency and Member of Parliament from 1660 to the present day. It's where I got most of the information for this website from...
15) POLITICS.CO.UK - A good source of political information.
16) BBC POLITICS - Another good source of political information.
17) WRITE TO THEM - Want to contact your local Member of Parliament? Just enter your Post Code and then find out who represents your area.
18) VOTE UK DISCUSSION FORUM - Sets of forums for people to discuss political issues, elections, candidates and the like. Constituencies have their own thread. Pity that the URL seems out of date in name anyway... Nottingham East has its own thread, and in the run up to the 2010 General Election, it was the most replied to constituency thread on that website, thanks to Yours Truly and some of the regular members who "harassed" Benjamin Barton after he decided to stand down from the candidacy due to a number of reasons.
19) UK POLLING REPORT - This also has forums for those with an interest in politics to leave messages. Constituencies have their own thread, where people go on about X having a 3,000 majority at the last General Election and that Y is standing down at the next one. Good stuff.
20) PRIVATE EYE - The best satirical magazine, which I get every fortnight from my local branch of W H Smith. Always plenty of political news inside, especially the H P Sauce column. I also buy it for the (cont. p. 94)
21) THE POLITICS SHOW - On BBC One, most Sunday lunchtimes.
22) WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE: NOTTINGHAM EAST - Wikipedia's own page on our own local constituency. A Google search from early 2009 indicated that only this website and Wikipedia's above had exactly the same information listed regarding some of the 1920s election results that I have on the other page. As I researched the election results on this website from Microfilm editions of the Nottingham Evening Post and a reference book from Nottingham Central Library, I am assuming that Wikipedia (or someone with a Wikipedia account) had copied the results from this website, on that page. Whoever it is, hasn't even given me acknowledgment for the information provided online, the morons!
23) WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE: CONSERVATIVE PARTY - The Wikipedia page on the Conservatives.
24) THE TELEGRAPH - POLITICS - The Telegraph's political news online.
25) THE TIMES - POLITICS - The Times' political pages online.
26) BOB WATT - Another constituency blog, which is better than Mr Barton's, although he does have a Labour bias.
27) FACEBOOK - SIR LOUIS GLUCKSTEIN - Record-breaking former Nottingham East MP Sir Louis Gluckstein has his own Facebook page! Full marks to the person who set this page up!
