It's a similar scenario to when Livingstone stood against the official 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.
Just commenting on the HBC and LCC aspect Rindi, if PB was to stand at the general (which he won't) he would have to be independent and not able to even use independent Conservative
