For over a week we've been asking CCHQ about why the party won't publish data on the MEP selection process. We raised the same issues with David Cameron 48 hours ago. We still haven't heard anything back. That's unusual. CCHQ normally answers our queries quickly. We noted the quality of the party's press operation on Saturday, for example.
We are not going to give up. ConservativeHome was founded on the principle of protecting party democracy and we are going to keep going until we get answers and a review of what went wrong in this election - particularly in terms of spoilt ballot papers.
We're suspending our efforts until 2nd May, however. We don't want to distract from our candidates' chances in the local and London elections. Noone at CCHQ has asked us to do this. This is our own decision but this campaign will return on 2nd May...
