Confusion has rocked the Medway Conservative Group over the name of the new candidate for River Ward. In what could be a sign of things to come, it is with tongue in cheek that this blog can report that the Tories have been hushing up the fact they got the name of the candidate wrong on press statements.
The Party have tried to hide the fact by amending websites and requesting friendly supporters to do so. Alas, they did not bank on the infamous google cache:
The Cached Version - Spot [Alan Mackness]
The New (amended) version - Spot [Andrew MacKness]
Apprarently the selection of Andrew MacKness was not 'correctly communicated ' to the upper echelons of the Rochester & Strood Conservative Association who released a press statement with the incorrect candidate name.
The controversy highlights the total ineptitutide of Medway Conservatives and why, if they can not even get the candidates name right, why they are unfit for office.
In other news, this blog is aware of unconfirmed reports that UKIP will be fielding a candidate in the upcoming byelection. The BNP are yet to confirm.
Websites, including some that blogger manages do become dated quickly. But to get the candidate name wrong for a forthcoming by-election that was caused by Conservative mis-management takes, um, well some incompetence!
Update - 24th September
It looks like the Conservatives have responded with an apology about the name of the candidate.
It appears that the Rochester & Strood Conservative Association webmaster had inadvertantly copied the webpage for their own candidate list from from fellow Medway blogger and Twydall Tory activist Alan Collins. He has since apologised which is honourable.
Perhaps the aforementioned webmaster should have known the names of his own candidates in advance rather then relying on the jottings of activists from neighbouring constituencies.
Coming only weeks after the InTouch leaflet in Strood congratulating the election of David Craggs after he resigned, and the failure to pay the £11,500 cost of the byelection in River Ward. Have to say, not a great start.
