Re: Labour wins Glasgow North East ...
 

Perhaps a bit more listening to Communists might have told Blair and Brown that it wasn't the greatest place to try and occupy?

Actually, there's the obvious thing here - Conservative grassroots people are far closer to the BNP in outlook than the party leadership and likewise grassroots Labour people are closer to communism, in the sense that they're more likely to support things like state ownership of railways, banks, social equality etc.

I'd stick me neck out and say the gap is closer on the Tory side, though. Go and look at the green ink brigade in the comments at ConservativeHome.
