Labour has the same problem (in a way) with independent left parties, but so far they have managed to keep them to trivial levels, though they have e.g. Respect in Burnley 04 helped fascists win seats on one or two occasions. Now of course one of them may be voting with Tories in Birmingham while Galloways troupe may be tempted to do likewise in BG&B/Tower Hamlets. Marvellous.
