What stands out is that three of those candidates are disillusioned former Conservatives. Suggests that there is something of a toxic culture in the local Tory parties in Northamptonshire.
Yes 100% correct and it’s interesting that I get support across the political spectrum including many Conservatives who have moderate not extreme views and who basically want the best for our communities all our communities.
I hope the voters of Northampton North will give Paul Clark the chance. He has a record of standing up to the Tory party failing machine locally and for calling out their cover-ups, shenanigans and corruption. The word corruption has many different connotations but in whatever guise it appears it is a cancer and it needs to be rooted out.
The Tories are done for and a "protest" vote for Reform is a vote for a party that specialises in racism & dog whistle politics. The party is led by the Putin appeaser Farage, a charlatan. Avoid like the plague.
That leaves Labour's Lucy Rigby, the classic lawyer turned career politician who has failed twice to win in Lincoln and previously was an Islington councillor. No track record to speak of and a very comfortably off champagne socialist. She is favourite to win the seat and after 4 July you can expect to see her next in Northampton (bar the occasional photo opportunity) in 5 years time looking for your vote. What she is saying in and about Northampton is exactly what she said in and about Lincoln. A broken record who will do nothing new for Northampton but quite a lot for her own career. The Westminster bubble awaits her.
Paul Clark being in my area will get my vote, having spoken to Paul he has a passion and demonstrable background of getting things done which is what I find sadly lacking when approaching my former MP.

I cannot vote in the general election because I am a EU citizen with the Right to stay being here for the past 47 years.
However, if I could i would vote for Paul Clark as he has the courage to speak out against corruption when he sees it.

In all Northamptonshire constituencies the only way to remove/prevent a conservative MP from being elected is to vote Labour.
