Do did the youth rep position get just 1 nomination in all other regions without a LF reccomendation?
How much contested are the other positions? I mean, a rough ration of candidates/posts to be elected
There're some names I recognize in that list, mainly because they have stood for parliament recently (and former MP Doug Naysmith too)

I'm standing for the Youth Rep position in the East of England on the advice of James Valentine, so if you like him, maybe you could recommend me too?!

John I don't think all those people got nominated eg the 2 in West Mids

I'll vote for a mix of people, never a slate, because I don't want the party dominated by one wing over another

Merseymike, the Party is currently dominated by one wing. Voting consistently for the kind of candidates John suggests is a way of redressing the balance.
On the other hand, if you are happy with the present situation, you should vote for the slate Luke suggests. I've never bought the 'no slate' argument. I actually think that we need political debate about the future of the labour movement, and that slates are an honest and open means of facilitating this.

I want a mixture of people so that is how I will vote. And if people aren't on a slate at all I will give them particular attention

I'm not standing for Yorkshire & Humber NPF rep, though lots of people seem to think I am! I'll take it as a compliment.

James Watkins is a West Midlands candidate for the NPF with experience in the Party and the business sector. We need this kind of expertise if we are to renew our economic policy (http://tinyurl.com/3af2mpp).

It's funny that the entire LF slate for NPF in Yorkshire are not supporting Luke's leadership candidate (3DM, 1EB) but all the grassroots alliance slate are actively supporting Luke's leadership candidate.
The grassroots slate in Yorkshire is populated by people with sensible but independent politics whose professional backgrounds are civil servant, TU Solicitor, business owner and Manager of 3rd sector organisation.
These are times full of counter-intuitive choices.

Some of the candidates supported by the "Left" in its various forms....

A couple of candidates seems to be back by both left and right.
