Are there people who joined the Labour Party because of Jeremy Corbyn in Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man? Are there even branches of Momentum there? Might it be difficult to set up such things? The voting age in all three is 16, and since Labour does not organise in the Crown Dependencies, it ought not to be a problem to observe custom and practice by standing candidates as Independents.
The City of London would be a far harder nut to crack. But Labour has had some success there in the recent past, despite the jaw-dropping electoral system. And candidates for Mayor of London have to be nominated by at least 10 local government electors in each of the 32 Boroughs and in the City. George Galloway managed that last year. Those 10 people are there. As, indeed, is he.
