third to second?

in Reading East Labour were of course in third place in 2010. The national swing should take them back to second, as they were in 2005 when the seat was lost by Tony Page.  Don't think it much matters who or what the candidate is.  Myself, I would have chosen Mr D.P. Singh.  However, because Reading East was not all-woman shortlist, it has to be a White Bloke, so Matt Rodda it is.  Well, good luck with that one.
