Paranoid Android Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 BBC NEWS | Politics | David Davis resigns from CommonsThis is quite strange and out of the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 a labour spokesman has suggested that they might not field a candidate against him. that would be a genius move as it would render the whole exercise completely pointless on davis' part. the guy's got a pretty big majority in his constituency and labour have no chance in that neck of the woods anyway so it's a pretty lame protest from davis anyway.

Paranoid Android Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 With the Lib Dems not standing (due to them supporting Davis on this issue) if Labour did not put a candidate forward it would eb a highly surreal by-election with Davis fighting against a couple of minority parties. However i think the odds are that Labour will stand.It's very strange and as people say it isn't really a huge gamble (on his seat anyway, his chances of getting back in the shadow cabinet are in more doubt), I do feel though that he is doign it because he is genuinely passionate about this issue and not only as a stunt. It's just a shame a few more Labour MP's didn't take a stand last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
