Conservative candidate wanders far and wide

Robert William Rutherford must be keen to be a councillor - somewhere, anywhere.  Last May he contested Broadwater Ward.  Undaunted he appeared in St James in October and promptly lost again.  He has appeared  now as the Conservative candidate at the Pembury by-election.  Third time lucky?

Does the Conservative Party have a dearth of suitable candidates, or is the Party desperate to get him on Tunbridge Wells Borough Council? It is possible of course that Mr Rutherford is acting the role of martyr, standing in seats the Conservatives expect to lose.

The Liberal Democrat candidate lives in Pembury, whereas Mr Rutherford  lives in Broadwater. Should Mr Rutherford lose, one wonders where he will turn up next.
