Lib Dems will not contest seats of Independents who have left other parties – so what about Claire Wright?

Sir Vince Cable has said that Lib Dems will NOT contest seats of the (so far 11) MPs who have broken from their parties to become independent in the last few days

Owl assumes that Sir Vince includes Claire Wright – the most popular independent in the country – in this sensible decision, especially as polling shows she could unseat Hugo Swire this time round.

Looking forward to Sir Vince’s confirmation.

One thought on “Lib Dems will not contest seats of Independents who have left other parties – so what about Claire Wright?”

  1. Feel sorry for Sarah Randall Johnson. Twice defeated by an independent; and her day job at Flybe has gone. Maybe she could come back to be chair of EDDC where she was ignominiously voted out by voters who preferred the integrity and public commitment of Independent Claire Wright. Or maybe she could be parachuted into a safe Tory seat (if such a thing still exists) after being ignominiously defeated in the Totnes primary by the now independent Sara Woolaston. At least nobody in Devon objects to her refusal to allow the DCC Scrutiny Committee to scrutinise cuts to NHS provision etc.
