From what I can see it’s local members getting pissed off because local selection conventions are getting ignored to shoe in candidates to met gender quotas.
This seems to be happening in all parties.
Either the central party will need to select all candidates or local selection conventions in a two seater having two votes one between men and the other between women.
Although then you may have a male candidates who is much more qualified but not getting the place on the ticket because of what’s between his legs.
That does not excuse resorting to bullying people though. I hope whoever is found to be a bully is expelled from local politics for a long long time.
