He is a fine communicator who has earned a reputation for listening to the party workers and conveying their concerns and options to party leaders. Steve would make an excellent Vice President of the National Convention and would bring to its work sound judgement, a pleasant personality and real enthusiasm.

Candidacy of Mr Steve Bell for Vice President of the National Convention
I am delighted to support wholeheartedly Steve Bell’s candidacy for Vice President of the National Convention.
Steve gave me invaluable support  when I was PPC for the Milton Keynes South seat before the 2010 general election. My Association faced some tricky internal issues and, throughout, Steve was a bedrock  of good advice and took action to protect the interests of the Party. He has served the Party diligently and expertly for many years and it is an honour for me to support his candidacy.
