I was going to answer that but the previous post have done that or me, Labour do foist candidates on target seats, a glaring example was when they installed a Tory defector in Warrington, I think, it was somewhere in that neck of the woods. There was a big hoohaa in the national media because the constituency party wanted a local councillor as their candidate, but were over ruled by the national executive.
