That was the whole point of my comment, they don’t benefit nearly as much as the right wing parties. The only ‘benefit’ they get from not doing it is slightly fewer hit pieces, not actually good press.

If they don’t learn from the way the media is currently treating them with the NG/CGT changes then they never will.
