Well, that's it then, good luck in the selection, all is well with the world formalities sorted, no kicking against the traces, with 'I'm here to do you good', type of bravado, just, good old conformity, exactly what we need, your attitude suits us, we don't really give a monkeys either.
Ever get the feeling, 'I can't do right for doing wrong'.
If the answer is yes, then you're the man for us, stay there we'll tell you what to do next.
If the answer is no, then you're the man for us, stay there we'll tell you what to do next.

Re: Conservative Parliamentary Selection
'John Moss who is a former Boris Johnson campaign team member.'
Conservatives shortlist for Hyndburn revealed (From Lancashire Telegraph)
So it's his fault the old Etonian's bumbling around London, and sadly not allowed to appear on Have I Got News For You anymore.

Ah yes, imposed, that sum's up the idea of freedom and the right to vote any way you wish as an individual, why can't the Tory bosses trust the Tory masses to make the right choice?
Will any of you be brave enough to stand against such Dictatorship? Or will you waspishly follow the line because if you cancel your membership no refunds!

I don't think fairness comes into it, Jaysay is comfortable being a Tory and does take it seriously, does his and other local Tories allegiance not stand for anything?
He has supported them for many a year why should he and the rest not be allowed to choose their own Candidate? Why should they have a 'fly by night' forced upon them by their ill-informed Central Office?

Sorry to hear this ... never been a tory supporter myself, but I don't believe in "parachute" candidates for any reason, and for any party ....
What I find a little surprising is that the tory party will take the risk of upsetting their hard core support when the polls suggest that they are not all that far ahead of Labour
