Funnily enough I've heard similar tales.

It doesn't seem very democratic of Conservative central office, not to select the local party's man of choice, even if his track record is not very good.

As long as no one imposes on Hyndburn a short arsed women-only, who look a bit like a self-satisfied squirrel, shortlist, then I won't have to go and buy a cross-bow to take out Hazel Blears.

The day CCO impose a short list on us, will be the day I resign my membership, I've always said I have principles, and when people who know sod all about the workings of constituencies like Hyndburn stick their noses in its time to say bye bye and let them get on with it

They might think the quality of a candidate, rather than the quantity, has a better chance of securing the seat.

David Cameron said he was imposing lists from January 1st. Is that a cast-iron guarantee you will resign?
