| You sure about that Dominik? Labour lost all three seats in Hanwell to the Greens and all three Walpole seats to the LibDems. What I’ve been told by various political activists of different colours is that where these parties specifically targetted they beat Labour. Convincingly. In other areas there was very little canvassing from anyone other than Labour, who seem to have a dedicated team for that, and the Ealing Independents. The reasons were budget constraints and volunteer numbers. Even in traditionally strong areas like Southall the labour vote was well down. Mason lost 44 percent of his support from last time round. One suspects that any lessons supposedly to be learned from this won’t last long. It’s the usual suspects in charge and the leopards won’t change their spots. Still, we can all expect our streets to be cleaned again in four years time. |
