Tory party Chairman Lord Feldman in a review of the party published on Monday night has reportedly that said there was a need for a more diverse selection of candidates.
He also backed down on proposals to encourage Conservative Party associations to merge following an uproar from grassroots activists, who said it would have reduced the influence of ordinary members and given far too much power to Tory high command.
The Mail reported that Lord Feldman said that the party had to do more to attract women, ethnic minorities and working class people – and proposed using headhunters to try and recruit a more diverse generation of candidates.
