Independent Candidates

Have just posted a piece on Conservative Home about the story that Esther Rantzen might run in Luton South, the seat currently occupied by the awful Margaret Moran, who has been claiming her second home is in Southampton – someway from both her place of work and her constituency!

The Conservative candidate there is TRG board member Nigel Huddlestone. He is doing an excellent job and will surely unseat Moran without the need for an independent. 

Independent candidates should run where they are needed to gather the support of a wide group to dislodge an incumbent with a large majority. This is not the case in Luton South and Esther should look elsewhere for her chance to do something useful. Nigel will win without her.
