| This will be interesting - the Labour MP is a Sikh and the Tories are obviously hoping that their selection of a Muslim candidate will appeal to the large (mainly Muslim) local Asian community. Also in the Tories favour is the large swing they achieved last time, against the national trend, and their success in local elections. |
