The CPC have appealed the decision. link

The lawyers on behalf of the Conservative Party of Canada have filed an appeal of a decision overturning the acclamation of MP Rob Anders in Calgary-West.

I haven't heard anyone (on this board or elsewhere) complain about Anders being ousted. Are the CPC making a mistake in fighting this? Or are they more interested in the principle? With the number of time Anders has been implicated in minor scandals (Mandella, a campaign worker sued Anders claiming misuse of constituency funds, Anders working with a BC candidate who had smuggling charges, Anders skipping candidates debates, etc), why is Anders always defended and put back in to run? I'm sure there are many better candidates, why can't the CPC get a better one for that riding?
