The message would get out that we are in decline. We have to have more candidates than the BNP otherwise we're finished.
The 200+ figure is based on those PPCs currently listed on the website. I understand the figure is actually higher. This far out from the election 200+ isn't a bad figure and doubtless we will more by the election.

As for fight V stand. It is clear that we do not have the resources to run a proper campaign in every constituency. We should focus resources into target seats while having candidates in as many seats as possible.
