Would you care to provide the evidence to substantiate your allegation that "the Labour Party attacked him in the election campaign is in the lowest traditions of British gutter politics"

For that matter, why didn't Sinn Fein stand round here? Because there's about a 3% Irish community here, while in Northern Ireland it's nearly 50%, so it would be a waste of effort. No difference there to what Respect did.
Did you have a candidate for Independent Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern? Should Richard Taylor have stood somewhere other than Kidderminster? Of course not, that's where people felt strongly enough to vote for him, he'd be loony to stand anywhere else.
