Since the announcement of elections this year, most political party have launched their election campaigning in past couple of weeks and including the current incumbent and favourite Labour Party, the attendance in most places have been confined to a few hundred people only. So, if the numbers of attendees do suggest anything, yesterday’s merger event should send some strong signal to all other parties to understand the mood of public.
