Surely this is all down to the chair of the local Tories however this is deputy leader and friend of the Leader, Brian Roberts.

The more I think about this the more I think that Tory HQ should keep out of the selection process. It should be completely and totally down to the local party to select as they know who is most likely to stand a chance. Yes, let HQ offer national candidates but the final decision should be at local level.
It's a surefire way of losing votes if a candidate is imposed.
