I'm not sure her standing as an Independent will help IDS save his seat though, Labour won't win with there new candidate whatever, Chingford and Woodford Green is still Tory country in many respects and they lost a lot of votes by the way the dealt with the whole mess. And a lot of very active activists. One of the reasons it swung towards Labour last time WAS because the candidate was local, and the fact she was labour actively put some off voting for her because of the perceived Corbyn 'Issue'. She might not win, but I don't think she'll stop labour winning there. I say this as a Labour member who lives in the area and has to put up with IDS as my MP

Faiza Shaheen can only afford to take her brave, principled stand because one Tory MP more or less isn't likely to make any difference so she has the luxury of being a protest candidate. She knows she isn't going to win and she is only going to help Duncan Smith save his seat. She's leaving it up to other people to vote Labour nationwide to actually do what she claims to want to do, to get rid of the Tories. It's revolting.
