The deselection effort was led by Jon Conway, a former Ukip candidate who stood against him in 2017...
...Leaders in the Beaconsfield Conservatives blamed a “Ukip rent-a-mob” for swaying the vote. Matt Bezzant, 27, deputy chairman of the Beaconsfield Conservatives, said: “Dominic won with 36,000 votes last year.
“The Ukip candidate won 1,600 votes and he doesn’t speak for the electorate. They haven’t been at any meetings. Why didn’t they go about this in the ordinary channels?”

Funnily enough, in the Beaconsfield constituency, Leave polled 49% and Remain polled 51%, so Grieve could be said to be representing his electorate...
