ConservativeHome sends congratulations to George and to the Mid Norfolk Tories for repeatedly resisting CCHQ's attempts to quota-ise their selection process.
George's number one choice was the seat of Mid Norfolk and dropped out of at least one other selection race to focus his efforts on this seat.
George fought Stevange at the last General Election and is a practical supporter of a more compassionate brand of conservatism.
6.30pm update on 22/10: Contrary to Iain Dale's report I am told that all 120 seats were occupied at the selection and that some members had to stand. That equals about 30% of qualifying members.
