Talk:Alex Story (rower)

Date of birth seems wrong. Is it 1974?

Did he mention that he is married and has four children?

"Politician"?

Surely, as far as he is notable at all, it is because he was in the GB Olympic rowing team. It's true he would like to be a politician, but apparently has been unsuccessful in getting elected to UK or European parliaments. Newburyjohn (talk) 06:13, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have amended the lede to former rower and Conservative politician. As a parliamentary candidate (but not currently active) he counts as a former politician. Nedrutland (talk) 07:29, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is someone who has never held any office really classed as a "politician"? I agree with @Newburyjohn - Story has attempted to become a politician, unsuccessfully. In my opinion, merely being a political candidate does not make one a politician. TrottieTrue (talk) 02:42, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
