    As for Finklestein, well he’d probably cheerfully stand down for Lib Dems, for reasons I have given.
    Saved by the bell in Watford.

    Labour could be relatively secure here, provided the seat doesn’t get hacked around with too much.

    Any return of the 3 wards that are now in Ruislip, Northwood & Pinner would probably sink Labour I assume but an interesting question is whether the return of just one or two of them might do so although I accept that is an unlikely scenario.

    From what know of his politics now – Finklestein must have been on the far right of the SDP, although it’s perferctly plausible that he doesn’t really have any deep rooted political convictions and simply backs the Conservatives because that’s where the money’s at

    He’s no Gary Streeter that’s for sure

    I used to quite like him actually – I’m not one of these snooty types who doesn’t welcome people from other parties and is happy with 165 MPs.

    My criticism is he seems to be a bit too much of a media cynic, everything is a bit too much of a joke,
    and he’s one of these Metropolitican types who is a bit indistinguishable from any of the three parties.
