Whatever one's view of Ruth Cadbury she was hardly "virtually unknown". She has been a high-profile Brentford councillor for many years and has long been one of the leading lights in her local party, having been Deputy Leader of the Council. As Anne says one can speculate about reasons and the only facts are in the final score, but the narrowness of the victory might suggest that Mary Macleod would probably have held this seat had Labour fielded an unknown candidate. |
