Don't tell me they're having women-only shortlists?

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.

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

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
I heard it 2nd hand, reliable source. Don't know if it involved to much christmas port, fine wine or sherry?
Lets be honest he threw his hat in the ring, when? July? Still nothing. Doing better than the website tho which we have heard nothing from since July 2008 Councillor Peter Britcliffe - Latest News Reports
