THE Conservatives this week announced details of their open primary.
I reckon it could be quite an interesting but nerve-wrecking night for the candidates.
I know of one wannabe Tory MP who thought they were going to be fast-tracked, only to have an open primary imposed upon them. In public they managed to toe the party line about how good and democratic it was, but privately they were less than charitable in their comments about this 'big idea' being foistered from upon high.
It'll be interesting to see how the candidates (names to be released soon) react under pressure. I suspect some will be quite at ease due to their experience in some situations, others less so.
It'll also be interesting to how general members of the public turn out - afterall that is what these open primaries are designed for.
So the date for your diaries is Friday, July 6, at Church House, Ormskirk.
Anyone who wants to attend should call 01695 572306 or e-mail office@westlancsconservatives.com with their address and phone number.
