The Democrats have released their party list. It’s surprisingly similar to the 2005 list, with twenty candidates out of thirty one standing again.
This shows they have a stable core membership but they’re not attracting new blood. While a stable core helps long-term survival, without growing membership they can’t hope for any future success or influence.
What should really concern them is that during a global financial crisis their brand of fundamental financial reform isn’t attracting attention. They’ve the most fertile ground for their ideas since they left the Alliance. If they can’t become popular today they never will.
