They're all up to tricks.
Labour have imposed many women-only candidate lists, except in seats where the leader of the House's husband decided to stand.
In theory Hyndburn hasn't been this vunerable to change for years, but with the Tories having a mainly non-local candidate list, their chances have been greatly reduced. Especially as Jaysay says, many local party activists are now unwilling to give any time and help to whoever they eventually decide on.
I'm just hoping the local Hell and damnation homophobic ex-Vicar doesn't retain his deposit, and that foolish people vote for the vile man, as a protest vote.
Perhaps your cat should stand.
It'd be in with a shot of winning.
