Blaenau Gwent springs to mind here. Peter Law won as an independent Labour candidate in protest about an imposed shortlist. The by-election following his death returned Law's campaign manger Dai Davies with Labout losing again.

2 oops wrong post.

what is it about this latest fad of having non local bods thrown in against local men? What powers do they possess that we locals don't? I think we should be told.....Michael go to it, son.....

Certainly this risks all the humiliation of Blaenau Gwent, and with the added danger of helping the BNP.
Worse still it shows the power of Mandelson in the current regime. We all need to know a lot more about Blair`s current power. Look at what Labourlist.org says about his 2010 election website and its use of Blue Steel Digital - this looks like the real centre piece of the Labour campaign. Is there some reason why Blair hasn`t been ennobled yet ?
By-the-by, when`s newsnight going to get to grips with Windrush Ventures and Morgan`s influence in the government ? So much for "old corruption"

Hello Michael from my butcher鈥檚 shop in Smolensk. Here today my assistant Yuri is clean up mess of recent rat infestation 鈥� he is look like Pink Panther of Hamlin, only is use Kalashnikov, not flutes. And we are full of bemusal at this story.

Here in managed democracy of glorious Vlad Putin 鈥� he throw your George Osborne in good judo styles until he is slipping discs and make no mistakes 鈥� we are not have problem of selection committees for Duma candidates. Vlad is personally select all. This efficient, assure quality, and allow me get on with business of run shop and have bit of cummerbund (is right word?) vodka on side courtesy Big Oleg, local oligarch who is run my protections. Why, I don鈥檛 even need to bother vote as result is clear.

It seem Sir Mandelsson is try same procedures only make fatal errors. He is impose man called Tristram, who is smile and use words like 鈥渉istoricism鈥�, on working class area. Vlad never make such mistake. Sure, for university precincts in St Petersburg he pick some intellectual in spectacles who talk about fiscal positions and is make brain aching. But for proletarian parts of Magnetogorsk, you need something different. Here candidate should be call Lev, weigh 200kg and be ex-professional wrestler. He go round for kiss hands and shake babbies with 6 men straight from 鈥淢en in Black鈥�, and instead of campaigns speech is pull train with teeth. Local people is love him and give all votes, while any dissenters is invite have session with Lev in cage. So come on Prince of Darkness, it time to up game. If cannot abolish selections committee, give proper candidates. And if old seat of Hartlepool is become free, don鈥檛 think Simon Schama. Think Mickey Rourke.
