think your being a bit ingenious using Greg Pope as an example, otherwise how do you explain the "Hampstead" mafia having 'safe' Labour seats for life, in rust belt (ex industrial areas) constituancys sometimes hundred of miles from their origins.
I would think it a bit more honest to say that in safe Tory or a swing constituancy (Hyndburn) there is a bit less central committe 'nudge nudge wink wink ' in the selection process .
