  • It is also quite difficult to find anything from the Labour site. A while ago I wanted to know who’s their candidate in a certain constituency, but I couldn’t find neither a list of candidates, nor a list of local parties. I don’t believe that many others can.

  • I know because I work in public affairs that Labour keeps its PPC list secret, unlike the two other main parties, which make information about their PPCs and their contact details publicly available. Labour is by far the least e-savvy party.

  • Perhaps they have figured out, that it is wisest to keep their candidates secret as long as possible, before other parties can dig out all the dirt they have been involved.
