		Constituencies with turn-outs of 13 per cent or less were Manchester Gorton, Barnsley Central, West Bromwich West, Walsall North, Kingston Upon Hull East, Bootle and Manchester Central.
		Compared to the 1997 general election, four out of the five constituencies where Labour saw the biggest drop in its share of the vote were in Wales: the worst fall was in Islwyn with a 34.8 per cent drop.
		A third trend on 10 June, and also in the Scottish parliament election on 6 May, was the significant vote for parties standing to the left of Labour or perceived by the electorate to be so, particularly in Scotland.

	Comment: Hammered by the Scots \| Guardian daily comment \| Guardian Unlimited
		Several conspicuous Scotch carpetbaggers sit for English constituencies, none more egregious than Ian McCartney, MP for Makerfield and recently appointed to the cabinet as party chairman, whose Caledonian origins are not worn lightly.
		Meantime an Edinburgh parliament and executive (which are nicely inbred, so that by the latest election more than half of MSPs had served in the executive) are responsible for a wide range of matters within Scotland.
		But what absolutely no one imagined was that, once a parliament had been created in Dublin, it would be heavily subsidised by the British taxpayer - while the government at Westminster was dominated by Irish politicians.

		Oh mortification and lamentation - the Holyrood parliament is responsible for healthcare in his constituency.
		If there were no national question in Scotland and Wales, then reorganising the British part of the UK as an England-Scotland-Wales federal republic would be a profoundly retrograde step.
		Instead of merely weakening the existing UK state by breaking away a small component kingdom, our intention is to sweep away the whole royal-bureaucratic assemblage - making ready the launch pad for the CPGB’s maximum programme of universal human liberation and communism.

	Labour moves up a gear on black representation
		McCartney, Labour MP for Makerfield and party chairman for the last year, is keen to promote ‘Project 21st Century Party’, which allows party organisations to be more out-looking and less concerned with arcane party rules and procedures.
		They are likely to increase that to 15 in the next Parliament, and the Conservatives are set to go from zero to at least two Black and Asian MP’s.
		McCartney said new members must be welcomed in and the party must "provide opportunities to participate in the party at every level and to be recognised for their personal worth." He said Labour had done a lot, but there was "A hell of a lot more to do", including appointments to public bodies.
