That's good to hear, after the Conservative Party member and former youth development worker lost that contentious parliamentary race back in 2010. From Jamaica Observer: "When asked what it's like to be the first-ever, black political
appointee to a British PM, he shares, 'It's a great responsibility.
It's important to get in right and represent our community well. We
simply do not have (in the UK and Europe) enough black people in
politics. David Cameron has made a commitment to do his part in turning
this around, but the onus is on us as a community to get involved. So
for me, it is important to perform at the highest level, to demonstrate
that our community has the talent to operate at this level and that we
are not just part of a quota; but that we have real value to offer.'"
More: "Bailey — who was chosen as the Conservative Party
candidate for Hammersmith by open primary, and narrowly lost out on an
election to Parliament in 2010 in a difficult race — advises Cameron on
youth and crime, working to help shape the Government agenda on those
topics."
