At County Hall there is the Conservative Group but not one candidate is standing for the “Conservative Party” in the ERYC election on May 2nd.

The Conservative candidates are listed as:

1. Conservative Party Candidate
2. Local Conservatives or
3. The Conservative Party Candidate

Please see Statement of Persons Standing.

Is this a smoke and mirrors attempt to distance themselves from the Conservative Party who are failing so badly with Brexit and austerity?

The East Riding Conservatives campaigned for the National Conservative Government who failed with Brexit and austerity.

Dont be misled. There is just one Conservative Party and a cat is still not a dog.
