With regards to the GE, I'll aditt now I'm a Labour Party member, but I don't think we;ll win, the fight now is to get a low a Tory majority as possible.
However I've been reading up lots recenetly on PPC, you can usually find profiles on them around the net. After reading quite a few I'm actually scared by the Tory PPC, they see far more 'tory' than David Cameron.
With the Labour PPC I feel that theres been a shift to what people feel Labour should stand for in the attitudes etc, its just a shame so few of the will get in.
