Tories to hold open primary

Thank goodness. I thought it would never happen. Who's betting Carswell and Hannan are off having a celebratory glass of Pimms, too?

In Totnes, the Conservatives are due to hold 'open primaries' similar to that of the United States, whereby the party will nominate several candidates to run in the General Election for the constituency- and the voters of said area will choose whom is to run. (Bad sentence? 9am? Terrible tube journey? You betcha.)

KeepRightOnline don't want to repeat the BBC News on this, so have a look for yourself. The end product really is a push toward a more 'direct democracy'. A key catchphrase that's been thrown around Westminster for a while now. KRO are proponents, and we're pleased that this is being rolled out. Greater representation is a great thing and no doubt this will invoke more transparency into the political system, should all parties opt in.

If not?

Well let's hope the Tories keep at it, as I preempt this will establish much more involvement and trust from the public toward the party.
