"I do not know why Frank is doing this. He probably finds it exciting because he does not lead a very exciting life."
- James Gray in the local press speaking about the former Chairman of the North Wiltshire Conservative Association.
The former Chairman has spoken openly about James Gray wasting time and money by trying to hold on to his seat after the Association's Executive chose to deselect him. Mr Gray is sending letters to 800-1000 local members as well as using Association funds for a postal ballot of members which takes place next week with a deadline of January 29th.
Mr Gray is probably wrong if he thinks that this ongoing episode is purely down to personal vendettas, as he makes out. Having an affair with a married woman whilst his wife battled breast cancer hasn't done much for his reputation in the constituency. The seat is contended by the LibDems who may make hay with the issue.
