Candidates and Constituency Assessments

'The Tories have no chance of winning the General Election and are now fighting for the post-election leadership of the party. In such circumstances the super-rich in Britain will welcome a New Labour Government. They have nothing to fear from such a Government. Where this leaves the poor and the health service is another matter.' Jimmy Reid in the Herald, October 2 nd, 1996.
