The idea that there is this massive underswell of 'hard left activists' is just a ridiculous lie. At the last general election, just a year ago, Class War and the Socialist Labour Party (the only two hard-left parties to trouble the scorers) between them got c.3 500 votes nationwide.
That's as many votes as the Monster Raving Loony Party. Fewer than Yorkshire First or the Cannabis Is Safer Than Alcohol party. If even 1 in 10 of these voters was an 'activist', it would be roughly one activist for every two constituencies.
