Mark P: I don’t think my point was/is based around being “fair” or not.
We could equally say that Paul Murphy has zero chance of winning.
It’s more about whether you want to hegemonise the political benefits of having an MEP, or whether you would be willing to explore the possibility of allowing others access to some of those benefits in order to win support for your candidacy?
If you want to move Paul into a position of more than zero chance of winning then it might be worth looking in to?
Why not at least look at having a list of substitutes that includes others on the left? Some sharing of resources and access?
Why does it have to be exclusively the SP involved with the European Parliament?
