The survey of Tory candidates carried out by Conservative Home makes very interesting reading however the questions asked are probably more interesting than the answers. For example not a single question on housing, education or health - apparently the public is more interested in whether Tory candidates support the right of Catholics or other religious adoption charities to decline to place children with same sex couples. Candidates are asked about Iran but not about Iraq, about nuclear power but not about renewables.
What have we discovered? Mainly that Tory candidates are largely Eurosceptic, pretty much pro-nuclear and believe that England does not get a fair deal in terms of the distribution of the nation's finances. So all in all, nothing new.
