The fact that candidates are not showing up to constituency debates is extremely problematic for a number of reasons, including voters not getting to hear directly from their UCP candidate, candidates not having voices of their own (top-down party militancy), and making a sham of the democratic process.
Every candidate should be at these forums as best as they can, considering they are likely going to become the winner in many seats. This suggests to me that the UCP does not want them speaking for themselves, because they don't trust their own candidates to not say bozo things. Khan is right, what are they trying to hide?
If they can't be bothered to show up for for debates against the other candidates, what are they going to do when in the Legislature? Are they even going to show up?
This is concerning on many, many fronts.

If its that big of a concern there is a very simple solution.
Anyone who doesnt attend...then dont vote for them.
