I read the Bradford West report by Lewis Baston he mentions this morning, and his comments are best taken in the light of that. Because of the declining number of people involved in party politics in all seats across all parties, the danger is not necessarily losing seats in 'black swan' like events like Galloway. Instead, it's the fact that local parties (as with Labour in Bradford West) have hollowed out so that small numbers of people effectively control the party and the constituency.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482365633543675966noreply@blogger.com
