You'll be ducked out after you'd dipped all the women, blacks, Asians, gays and lezzers, who made it onto the A-list of party candidates, primarily because of their 'diversity'.

Happily our new M.P. wasn't foisted on us by some trendy Wendy from party HQ in London.

Our local Labour party selected a local candidate, and the people of the locale thought him the best person for the job.
