Conservative Councillors Association

We understand that there is a proposal that the CCA changes its status and becomes fully integrated into the Conservative Party as a "quasi-subsidiary".   Effectively that would mean that the CCA would cease to be a members association and would be deemed to be part of the Party.
The CCA's accounts would be consolidated into Conservative Central Office accounts.   Quasi-subsidiaries are entities over which Conservative Central Office has control and beneficial ownership.
We are told that there is to be a consultation with CCA members on this proposal but so far no one seems to have been consulted.   What is going on?

Power of recall

The sooner the voters get the power to recall their MP the sooner we will move to a better politics. Good luck to Zac Goldsmith
