From that excellent newspaper the a href="http://www.stalbansreview.co.uk/news/4527899.Local_Tories_in_turmoil/"St Albans amp; Harpenden Review/a:br /blockquotepThe future of MP Anne Main has sparked a civil war among St Albans Conservatives./ppChairman Seema Kennedy and her two deputies, Matt Peck and Mary Zambra, asked Mrs Main to step down, and have now called a meeting of the local party’s 300 members on August 13, to vote on her de-selection./ppBut an opposing faction is backing the MP and trying to remove Mrs Kennedy and Mr Peck from their posts ahead of the crucial vote./ppDefying clear advice from the party's regional campaign director that it would be unconstitutional, 33 local Tories, claiming to be the branch's executive committee, met on Thursday, and issued a statement backing Mrs Main and calling for Mr Peck to resign./p/blockquoteLater on the report quotes an unnamed executive council member as saying:br /blockquote“Anne's conduct has been disgusting. She has tried to derail the democratic process. I am now firmly of the view she is not fit to be an MP.”/blockquotediv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6606798-4783660654314380973?l=liberalengland.blogspot.com'//div
