Local Association officers back Douglas Hogg MP

Officers of the Sleaford and North Hykeham Conservative Association have backed their local MP Douglas Hogg MP after last week's revelation about his expense claims for a moat.

The President and Chairman of SNHCA have issued a statement on their website (click on the image on the right to enlarge the statement).  A peek at the antiquated nature of the Association website will give you all the proof you need that this is a complacent Association.

Earlier today six local councillors backed Andrew MacKay.

Association officers are at odds with the mood of Tory activists in general.  Both Mr Hogg and Mr MacKay were near the top of Conservative members' deselection league table.
