DAVID CAMERON claimed a majority because Labour shipped too many supporters to anti-austerity parties, Labour Euro MP Lucy Anderson claims today.
Far from being seen as too-left wing, Ms Anderson argues Labour lost crucial marginal seats because “we weren’t left-wing enough.”
The London Euro MP’s comments are based on an analysis of election results for the Morning Star. It shows that in 11 marginals that Labour lost to the Tories, the Green vote was bigger than the Tory candidate’s majority. That includes Morley and Outwood, where the Greens polled 1,264 and then shadow chancellor Ed Balls lost by 422.
