| Haha, Reading & District Labour party become disenchanted with the sitting MP for Reading East, Jane Griffiths, and deselected her as their candidate in the General election, choosing councillor Tony Page instead. |  |
| The Labour voters, whom the Labour party are supposed to represent, then showed that they would rather have a Conservative MP than Tony Page. The Labour vote slumped by over 10%, allowing the Tories to scrape in to what had been a strong Labour seat. |  |
| "Are you thinking what we're thinking?" Yes, just like in Blaenau Gwent, you have to remember that it is the voters that put the MPs into Westminster and not the selection committees. | |
