You decide...

This will be interesting if it happens.
People who are not members of the Conservative Party may help to select its candidates...There could also be American-style primary elections in which registered Tory supporters - or even ordinary voters who are not Tories - could vote on a shortlist of candidates drawn up by the local association.
We've been having a few conversations (ok, arguments) at Demos recently about the role of political parties in renewing local Democracy, so it would be good to see some innovation from the Cameroons.
