Is hardly anyone going to vote Labur anymore.
This is liberal Britain not socialist Utopia..
Short is probably impressed by Jenny Tonge's latest outburst !
I reckon Clare will be following George into Respect fairly shortly.
Volty
Do you thibnk she will get on with Yvonne Ridley ?
Any evidence, Volty? Or just a gut feeling?
Mind you, you're a Brummie. Could Short win a seat for Respect in the city?
Clare made some comments about the greens too - but I doubt that will happen to be honest. There doesn't seem to be anywhere that Clare could go, the LibDems seems particularly unlikely and Respect might not even want her - they'd certainly be a good deal of hostility against her over her behaviour during the last couple of wars.
Although I think this hostility in the anti-war movement is slightly unfair, in that people hate her more than they hate the genuinely pro-war labour ministers - it seems to me.
Dave;
Just gut feeling - I think she could win a seat, whether Ladywood or somewhere else. It would give Respect two viable Westminster candidates, the other being Salma Yaqoob, in the region. Further, Respect would obviously drop the parts of its platform that she doesn't agree with (unless that puts her in conflict with the Mother of All Talk Show Hosts), in order to accommodate her.
They're good like that.
