Stuart Wheeler wheels out his Trust Party

So Stuart Wheeler is spreading his bets by hoping to be elected as Trust Party MP for Bexhill & Battle. Did he pick this seat because he wants a battle on his hands? Surely Greg Barker is not the best target to complain about politicians with a past. I would have thought he might have picked an opponent with a "bit of previous".

And why start a new party? He gave money to UKIP. He knows Nigel Farage is trying his level best to get rid of the Squeaker in Buckingham. This just divides the anti-sleaze brigade's forces. And if UKIP is now not to his fancy why not sidle up to the Jury Team boss, Sir Paul Judge? I get the impression that the minor parties like to think the forthcoming general election is a bit like the Grand National. A mad rush over the jumps and the possibility that the favourites will fall. It's wishful thinking.

I wish Stuart Wheeler well in his campaign. But that's as far as it goes. However, if he wins, then his own battle will enter the electoral history books.
