Do you know someone who you think has what it takes to be a brilliant MP, but may not have realised it? Have you ever told them what you think?

At Reflecting Britain we’re encouraging people to nominate their ‘political diamonds’. Politics can be intimidating and lots of brilliant people rule themselves out of a political career, simply because they assume they don’t have what it takes.

That included a lot of people who are now successful politicians - until someone gave them a bit of encouragement, that is.

It’s very easy to nominate your diamond - simply fill in the form below and we’ll send them an ecard with your message and some advice about how to take things further if they are interested.

It really is that simple. We will be encouraging your nominee to talk to you about it however, so we do ask that you take the time to give them your advice and opinions.

HINT: Why not get encourage several other people you know to nominate the same person to really give them a boost?
