Either way, he wasn't 'given' a safe seat.That's not as I remember it, he was 'picked' along with 3 others I believe, by the Conservative party to stand in the Open Primary. There was at least one strong local Conservative candidate who was not given the opportunity by the party to stand in the Open Primary IIRC, we are pretty parochial up here and I think he would have given Rory Stewart a run for his money.
Not that it really matters now.
