Of the smaller left-wing parties, the Respect Party seems to be well organised and campaign savvy. When Salma Yaqoob appears on Question Time she quite often gets those who probably wouldn't think of supporting her do exactly that. This is particularly so of the Iraq War and New Labour's military shinanigans. Her campaign is this time concentrated on the enlarged Hall Green constituency. Last time, 2005, she did very well in the old Sparkbrook division. But I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest she is in with a fighting chance of winning this seat. One thing the voters won't get is a woman of quiet mind. So they may opt for a star rather than a sparkler.
I give Salma Yaqoob's Campaign Site a Voter Friendly 5/10 for Election Information.
