Don't have any money - quite the reverse - but knew David Butler who introduced me to a seminar at Nuffield saying something like if you don't know Mary you don't know the labour party. My father studied at the University of British Columbia with Robert McKenzie and we watched the first outside broadcast in 1959 from Leeds where we lived and I remember Gaitskell conceding defeat. I was very young but good at maths even then now I just have instincts. I have watched or listen to (in 1974 I was in Cyprus) elections broadcasts ever since and monitored Labour candidates on PR from 1992.
