I would say ‘Communication, Communication, Communication!’ As I understand it, the Hyndburn association do have the odd maverick, however the ‘London-centric’ CCHQ will not have much of idea where actually Hyndburn is!'
'I should think "those in London" simply want to get on and try to win the winnable seat. It's ridiculous that this seat has n't selected yet and cryptic messages about "local issues" are n't good enough particularly when an election is so close.'

Some of the other commentator's thoughts are quite illuminating too.
I wonder who the local Conservative 'odd maverick' is?

Really quite enlightning these comments as to the delay.
I, like many, really can't make an informed choice, as to how I'll vote in this very important election, until all the candidates have been declared offically.
It's really very frustrating.
