The Tatler ticket
A "conservative" attempt to rebrand its image, remake British politics and, above all, thwart the will of the people has failed. For the moment, at least. If the Liberal Democratics get any part of their wishes in a coalition government we should expect much more coercion along the same lines.
They were the A-list candidates who were going to change the face of the Tory Party.
Drawn from diverse social backgrounds, they were younger and more likely to be female as David Cameron vowed to end the domination of ‘male, white, professional, grey-suited and straight’ MPs.
But an analysis of Thursday’s results suggests that some of Tory HQ’s favourite candidates struggled to overcome local resistance to the ‘rebranding’.

Time to elect a new people.
