Spot on. I was one of those recently "culled" for the Tory candidates list. I believe it is because I couldn't keep up with the london set. My job and family didn't allow it. I'm not saying I;m anything special but if we want Tory MPs to be mosre than just idetntikit lawyner clones with sensible hair we must do somthing about this.
Too late for me; I am walking away but I hope others take up the challenge.

You have a b***dy cheek writng this. You are a teacher with 13 weeks off a year. Try doing a proper full time job, in the labour party, and becoming a candidate without being a union man or a favourite son.

Antony. You have just got to look at the "millionaire" cabinet to find how unrepresentative the government is in terms of diversity.

The one thing I would like to mention about Iain Dale is that his difficulties encountered during his time as a Tory parliamentary candidate in 2005, and his failed bid to becoming one in 2010 was his lack of political understanding. To be frank he was a terrible candidate in North Norfolk, and made a truly pig's ear of it. He doesn't know anything about politics, and has been privileged to be well connected to Lord Ashcroft among others. I am surely not going to cry crocodile tears for Iain Dale.
