If you stood as an independent, against the candidate chosen for you, would you not have to leave the Conservative party?
It's a similar scenario to when Livingstone stood against the offical Labour candidate Dobson, in the first Mayor of London election, and was forced to leave the party.
Still if you're not keen it probably won't be happening, which is a pity for us non-partisan observers to the hurly-burly of political life.
