really good job of raising their local profile so it's they who decide you know to work with other parties locally to stop the conservatives and if it's doable and there you go now if it's a key target seat yes it's not like the leadership does nothing it was a key target seat the national leadership will throw money at it they'll send their campaign experts they'll send some you know senior mps to coordinate the local efforts to draw up support but if they've got no chance but another progressive party does they might spend nothing at all on it and leave it to the local party with perhaps a little whisper that maybe it's in the party's national interest not to fight this election too hard you know this happened for example during corbyn's time in charge in NUMBER_TOKEN brecken and radnesha labour had no chance but the lib dems did labour stood a candidate but there was no hard campaigning like jeremy corbyn didn't even go there himself it was a by-election the party leader of course they're going to go there if they want to fight that seat he didn't they made a show of standing a candidate but they basically left the lib dem candidate all the breathing room they needed to to go on and win it and they did do and labour got some stick i said well you lost your share of the vote that's because you didn't try very hard yeah that's the point they didn't try very hard just as happened in this year's chesham and amisham labour lost a load of uh of support they didn't really fight very hard but it allowed the lib dems to win it you know and that's what people need to bear in mind labor had no chance the lib dems did the lib dems won both of them to the cost of the conservatives that's how it needs to be but this is not an option in north shropshire the the lib dems were nowhere so why risk those conservatives with a small c in other seats around the country worrying that labour and the lib dems are getting into cahoots here for a lost cause when they need to keep their powder dry for the general election but there we are those are my thoughts let me know yours in the comments below i hope you found the video interesting if you did don't forget to click the like button if you'd like support the channel further please click the patreon link for details and until next time i'll see you later
