Daisy Blench, Green Party candidate for Braintree, has been joined by her mum, Felicity Norman, who is standing in the constituency of North Herefordshire for the Greens.
Daisy, 22, a former Minster College and Hereford Sixth Form College pupil, made her political debut for the Greens when she stood for election to Herefordshire Council aged 19, one of the youngest council candidates in the country. Her action earned praise from her Conservative opponent John Stone, whose rural seat would otherwise have gone uncontested at election time.
Now based in Colchester as a student at Essex University, Daisy was recently selected as the Green Party candidate for Braintree.
"There is no stopping Daisy," said her mum, Felicity Norman.
"Since going away she has taken on roles of responsibility at her university and student union - she is one of life's 'can do' types.
We are very proud that she has risen to the challenge of the general election. She is highly articulate and would make an excellent MP."
