Brent East is a highly ethnically diverse constituency, which has traditionally voted Labour.
But our party is changing, and the fact that we won in Brent East from 3rd place on less than 11 percent of the vote at the last election just shows that there are no 'no-go' areas for the party and we can take seats anywhere.
It should be a world-class stadium and one of the most exciting things to come to Brent, but the regeneration that is necessary in terms of the transport links is not happening.

 The Voice of the Turtle
The news that Labour lost the Brent East by-election, its first such defeat in fifteen years, and on a 29 percent swing, seems to have been greeted elsewhere in the country with a fair dose of joy.
Living not in Brent East, but South, some fifty yards on the wrong side of the complex constituency boundary, it was strange to see my area being so often in the news.
For the record, this was the centre of all three of the major parties' campaigns, and the lack of local interest in jailing fl youth probably explains a certain indifference to the campaign shown in the 36 percent turnout.

 THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS PARTY UK POLITICS
The Lib Dems are the third-largest party in the UK Parliament, behind Labour and the Conservatives, with 63 Members of Parliament - 62 elected at the general election of 2005, and one from the Dunfermline and West Fife by-election.
This was especially true in 1983 and 1987 when their popular electoral support was greatest; their increase in the number of seats in 1997 and 2001 was largely due to the weakness of the Conservative Party in the later elections.
They are also criticised for not calling for reform of the European parliament despite the fact that different countries are not represented equally, which contradicts their ideology of 'giving power to the people'.

In the east London constituency of Ilford South, the Association of Ilford Muslims (AIM) is campaigning against MP Mike Gapes, the deputy chairman of the Labour Friends of Israel, the most influential zionist lobby in Parliament.
In public, these men dismiss the Muslim challenge as the work of "unrepresentative extremists", but privately they know that in Britain’s constituency-based electoral system their position is vulnerable.
Most constituencies are straight contests between two major parties; where the result is likely to be close, large political interest-groups can find their collective vote holding the balance of power.
