I think the party has some sort of 115 year old collective worry that somehow an overwhelming Socialist Parliamentary majority is going to be be accidentally elected by a less than consciously socialist electorate. Judging by the historical evidence from elections, I would say that’s possibly something we don’t need to worry about too much.
If by chance one or two councillors got elected, or even one or two MPs, in such circumstances, I’m fairly sure scrutiny of our case would be all over mass media. So perhaps one or two accidentally elected representatives wouldn’t be such a scary thing.
