Have you covered/published the selections of Preston (Cllr Jo Barton), Wyre and Preston North (Cllr John Potter), or Chorley (Stephen Fenn)?
I notice that Putney is due to decide. Can I suggest that the resident of Putney who is Leader of the Liberal Democrats stands as the candidate in the constituency where he lives?
If the strategy that he and his advisors forced on the party has anything in it this would make perfect sense.
Remember that strategy where Clegg’s top advisors Astle and Reeves told left wing members and voters to clear off and support the Labour Party ?
The theory was that millions of Soft Conservative voters who believe in the sort of thing that Jeremy Browne writes about would come flocking to support the New Centrist (ie right wing) Authentic Liberals.
I am sure that there are a lot of “Soft Cons” living in that constituency of Putney and they will no doubt flock to support a candidate like Nick Clegg.
Update on Hemel Hempstead – the returning officer has agreed to extend the deadline to Friday 19th December.
Funny how there is endless fuss when someone mentions all-women shortlists but the rules are constantly being waived to allow all-male shortlists to go ahead.
