John goes on to tell us that the Communist Party became the second largest party on the council after gaining 20 per cent of the vote.
Under the British electoral system, however, they would have gained only more despair.
And they would not have won more than 1 per cent of the vote in the first place as anti-Tories dare not waste their votes, as we see time and time again.
When will the CP lead the fight for electoral reform?
