  I agree with you, Keith. The default position should be for local associations to put forward preferred candidates. However, what if they put forward somebody completely unsuitable? The point being that party members (of all parties) are a tiny subset of the voting population. So there has to be a process of checks and balances.
  
  We can see now with Truss that if left entirely to members, a party can end up in a very bad place indeed.
