Watford Conservatives to usher in new candidate?

The Watford Observer reports that the Watford Conservative Association is moving quickly to replace Ian Oakley, the Tory PPC convicted of 68 criminal offences against his Liberal Democrat opponent Sal Brinton and her colleagues.

Curious, then, that ConservativeHome appear to have no knowledge of the advertisement (it isn’t in the most recent list of advertised seats on ConservativeHome), and in fact their last entry for Watford reports Oakley’s pleading guilty at St Albans Magistrates Court back in August.

Neither the local Conservative Association nor David Cameron have yet apologised to Watford Liberal Democrats for Oakley’s reign of terror whilst he was their PPC.

Read more by Helen Duffett or more about ConservativeHome or david cameron.
