Unbelievable! They’ve now
Unbelievable! They’ve now announced how many votes were cast in the two areas for the London-wide lists and in both we got more votes than TUSC (the list support by both Militant and the SWP) did in the list vote (whereas we’d have expected it to be the other way round). In Lambeth & Southwark they got 1891 or 1.2% and in Merton & Wandsworth 904 or 0.6%. So quite a few of those who voted for us for the constituency did not vote for TUSC for the London-wide list (1047 in the first and 439 in the second). Don’t know what this means — except that offering attractive reforms doesn’t necessarily get you more votes than standing just for socialism.
