MP or PM? Newton Abbot Conservatives Must Decide

by admin on 17 November, 2018

The local Conservative MP has made it very clear, which is to her credit, that she believes the Prime Minister, Teresa Mayhem, should resign. I can only speculate as to the views of the local Conservative Party, but those speculations are surely justified and the general public should know the answers.
Does the local Conservative Party support their MP or do they support their national leader, the Prime Minister? They can’t have it both ways.
At some stage between now and whenever a General Election is called every local political party in the country has to approve a parliamentary candidate to fight the seat on behalf of the local party. Will Newton Abbot Conservatives reselect or deselect the sitting member? Are they loyal to their MP or to their PM? There are those I’ve spoken to who think they should both go! What do you think?
