Desperate Merseyside Tories Seek Council Candidates from off the Street

With Conservative Party membership literally dying off nationwide and at an all-time low, the Tory Party has had to resort to desperate measures to find candidates to stand for election to local authorities.

A six-strong group of Tory agents has been randomly knocking on doors in Merseyside seeking to find someone who votes Tory and might have their arm twisted to stand for the local council in a hopeless seat.

The posh lads from t’ South who have been out doing this job only ask residents only two questions.

Firstly, “Are you a Conservative?”, and then, if yes, “Would you like to be a council candidate in May?”

And it has apparently worked. With literally hours to go to the 4.00 pm deadline today, the Tories say they have a ‘full slate’ in Liverpool. In Sefton Borough, the Conservatives have resorted to dragging back candidates who have previously retired from the council or, in the case of Sir Ronald Watson, been have been first ditched by the Conservatives after a monstrous row and then rehabilitated. The ‘karma’ is that the Tories in Southport have ditched David Barton, the man they replaced Ron Watson with and are now trying to replace David Barton with Ron Watson!
