This occasional series is designed to profile, in about 100 words, talent the major parties should be looking out for. Of course they have their own A and B lists but every little bit helps … perhaps. Warning: in political profiles such as this, the blog author reserves the right, Praguetory style, to immediately delete comments deemed not in the spirit of the post.
Former leader of the Surrey Heath Conservative Future before he became a trifle old, Dominic de Mariveles can be found all over the British political sphere in one form or another. Not long ago he ran a policy initiative on Waste Management:
A new national policy framework in the form of an update of the 2000 Waste Management Act is needed to provide us all with a clear procedure for domestic recycling and waste disposal.
When he's not involved in such things or in his day job in finance, he is signing petitions such as this little gem, suggesting to Tony Blair that:
The proposed bridge in the Thames Gateway connecting Beckton in the north with Thamesmead in the south should be named the "Daniel Finkelstein Bridge" after the eminent political commentator and columnist.
Interesting that a top blogger, William Luckman, also involved himself in this matter. Dominic is as charitable, such as supporting a deaf boy, David Morgan, in the London marathon:
dominic de mariveles - 12/04/2006 - Donation - good luck fatso
… as he can be ascerbic with stupidity:
One reason people despise politicians is because secretly they are quite envious that it ain't them.
I suggest the Conservatives keep a weather eye out for this young man, with a view to pre-selection in a juicy constituency somewhere, preferably in the south-east. Maybe if he were to take up blogging, it might just get him over the line.

christ he is ugly.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a clear case of 'lookism', CityUnslicker, under Blair's PC code and he'd probably feel within his rights to sue you for that remark.
ReplyDeleteHis wife obviously thinks he's dishy and his kids love him too. Make sure he never tracks you down.
Easy James. Coming soon - A collection of deleted and moderated comments. Joke.
ReplyDeleteJames, only just seen this as I was doing some (cough) ego surfing. My excuse is that the originator - a blogger of considerable renown - knows The Fink and was hoping to present him with the link if the numbers got high enough, this having been in reaction to something Finkelstein had written about petitions. And yes, I know it was childish.
