The 23rd of May Vote Conservatives.
Through the years we have often been campaigning with Conservative MEPs. Conservative Euro candidates for Thursday’s elections include our dear friends Syed Kamall MEP, Charles Tannock MEP and Cllr Joy Morrissey.
Charles Tannock MEP is a strong champion of protecting EU citizens rights in the UK and British citizens in the EU and during the last three years has worked with action groups like "the3million" to fight to preserve EU citizens rights including voting rights. Along with his London MEP colleague and fellow candidate Syed Kamall MEP (Chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group) he has resolutely defended UK and London interests in policy areas from the environment to financial services which are of particular interest in the City of London and responsible for 10% of UK GDP and 50% of London's income. He is married with three children. He has represented London in the European Parliament since 1999. Prior to that he was a local Councillor in London. He was educated at Balliol College, Oxford and the Middlesex Hospital Medical School, London. He is a Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists & a retired NHS medical Consultant. He speaks 5 European languages including fluent Italian as he grew up and attended schools in Italy as a small child. In his early MEP years he served on the Environment and Economic Affairs committees of the Parliament. He is currently the Conservative Foreign Affairs & Human Rights Spokesperson and a Commissioner for Human Rights of the Conservative Party and has been decorated by 6 governments for services to international relations over 20 years. He is the author of many reports and resolutions of the European Parliament on different parts of the world. Over the years he has built close links with many of the communities of London.
