They get run down" - Aneurin Bevan, 1953 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:06:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Charlie Marks http://thoughcowardsflinch.com/2008/06/13/david-davis-and-holes-below-our-water-line/#comment-496 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 21:39:39 +0000 http://thoughcowardsflinch.com/?p=297#comment-496 So, you mean to tell me that Labour never runs in Davis’ seat, never fields candidates in those areas considered unwinnable? And if the Liberals aren’t running, doesn’t that give Labour an edge?

Let’s face it, New Labour’s turn under Brown has been towards forces outside of the party, outside of the labour movement – the Tory MP who crossed the floor, the job offer to various Liberals, and Digby fucking Jones!

It was targeted by the LibDem decapitation strategy – they’re the second party there.

And you don’t think the LRC would be concerned at the union-buster Murdoch taking the place of the Labour party.

Why would Labour even bother to contest the seat? The best Davis can do with no serious contenders competing is win the seat back: on the other hand he could seriously embarrass himself and his Party and I’m all in favour of both of those things. It hardly seems an issue of world-shaking importance though.

A challenge to Cameron perhaps? And if Labour fails to contest the seat, what should the response of the LRC be?
