Whatever happened to the Interim Peers List? (part 3)

In 2004, it was time for a new list, and another election was held. For those who hadn't been lucky thus far, another hurdle beckoned. At least this time, the competition was less fierce... much less fierce.

The result was;
  1. Robin Teverson - stage 1 (10 April 2006)
  2. Ramesh Dewan - stage 1
  3. Hilary Stephenson - stage 1
  4. Monroe Palmer - stage 18
  5. Celia Thomas - stage 49 (10 April 2006)
  6. Jonathan Fryer - stage 56
  7. Jock Gallagher - stage 61
  8. Dawn Davidson - stage 67
  9. John Stevens - stage 69
  10. Bill Le Breton - stage 69
  11. James Kempton - stage 72
  12. Ben Stoneham - stage 72
  13. Robert Adamson - stage 73
  14. Chris White - stage 73
  15. John Smithson - stage 75
  16. David Williams - stage 75
  17. Jo Hayes - stage 76
  18. Catherine Bearder - stage 76
  19. Jane Smithard - stage 76
  20. Maitland Mackie - stage 76
  21. Jackie Pearcey - stage 77
  22. Ruth Coleman - stage 78
  23. Celia Goodhart - stage 78
  24. Julie Smith - stage 78
  25. Peter Price - stage 78
  26. Qassim Afzal - stage 78
  27. Alan Sherwell - stage 78
  28. Jonathan Marks - stage 78
  29. Paul Tilsley - stage 78
  30. Liz Barron - stage 79
Only two successful candidates this time, and another candidate made it to the European Parliament at her third attempt, Catherine Bearder in 2009.

There were only two lists, however, the Dissolution Honours List in 2005, when David Chidgey, Nigel Jones, Archie Kirkwood, Jenny Tonge and Paul Tyler were the nominees of Charles Kennedy, and 2006, when another five were favoured, the two from the list, and John Burnett (who lost Torridge and West Devon the previous year), Brian Cotter (likewise in Weston-super-Mare) and John Lee.

The bad news was that the list was only good for two years... time to go back to the electoral drawing board...
