A disillusioned Conservative is standing for the UK Independence Party in Penrith and the Border.
John StanyerJohn Stanyer, 45, fell out with his Conservative association over the selection of the Eton-educated former diplomat Rory Stewart as parliamentary candidate.
Mr Stanyer was angry that none of the six hopefuls presented to a selection meeting in October was local.
He has now left the Tories and will stand for UKIP at this year’s General Election.
He said: “The Conservatives are becoming less and less honest and open, less democratic.
“We need a change. We need some honesty and more say for ordinary people.
“Politicians are held in total disregard by the general public. I don’t believe Labour or the Conservatives are offering anything different.”
