CALDER VALLEY SELECTION NEWS!

Guess what.......like Nottingham  South we were all set to go and, er, it's been called  off.

 Could this be perchance  the regional Office  (already hacked  off with left-wing members re   the leadership debacle) feared   a left-wing  candidate might  be in the offing. Was  not going to mentipon this at all but now,  in light of the Nottingham South  slection, I  am thinking shenanigans.If anyone  could elucidate  further would be very pleased to hear  of other examples where potential "rebel"  CLPs are being messed about.

If I were of a cynical nature I would offer the suggestion that there is an outside chance of an October General Election, and any CLP that has not gone through its Selection by then basically goes into by-election mode and has a shortlist imposed upon them, which of course would include potentially rebellious candidates(!).


However, I'm surprised at them messing a marginal like Calder Valley around - I would have imagined they would want a candidate in place at the earliest opportunity.

It's pathetic, isn't it?  The control freaks are well and truly back on form (see recent news on Frank Cook's constituency, etc.)
