Please explain to us why a political party ‘had’ to put up a candidate in an election in which a monkey with the other colour rosette would win. Seems to me that it’s a squandering of limited cash and human resources which would be better used in more marginal seats.
I’ll never understand the behaviour of people who run local political parties. I’ve seen more common sense in school playgrounds.
