Vice Chairman
[edit]In December 2005, [David Cameron] appointed Grant Shapps Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party, with responsibility for campaigning[1]. Shapps tried to bring in new methods of campaigning, including the use of "Push Politics", campaigning on local matters by sending e-mails to members of the electorate[2] He also ran the Ealing Southall by-election, where the Conservative Party were listed as "David Cameron's Conservatives" on the ballot paper[3]
Shapps was closely involved in running the controversial Ealing Southall by-election in which Conservative Candidate Tony Lit was revealed as having been photographed four weeks before being selected with former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair[4], During a bitterly fought by-election Shapps was targeted by hackers who broke into his YouTube account to post a message under his name saying the party could not win the by-election [5]. Labour held the seat with the LibDems coming second and Conservative in third place though with a small increase in vote share[6].
