General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Wigan was a target seat for the Conservatives at the last General Election, and if the Brexit Party had not split the Conservative and Labour vote, then Wigan may well have turned bloo

As it was Lisa Nandy, Jeremy Corbyn and the left wing 'Momentum' movement managed to reduce General Election majorities of 18,000+; 20,000+ and even 23,000+ to just 6728 votes, now that is a result in the once ultra staunch Labour Party supporting town of Wigan, and next time she could doo even better and wipe out that majority all together and give the seat to the Tories

I cannot see that happening, but I think those massive Labour majorities will be a thing of the past.

As regards the 'power' which Lisa Nandy holds as Shadow Foreign Secretary.
In Parliament, she is Privy to certain sensitive information regarding the Foreign and Commonwealth office, this is because the official opposition's Shadow Cabinet 'shadows' the Government, because in times of crisis the Monarch could sack the incumbent Government, and would appoint the Shadow Cabinet to govern the country instead, that is why they are Her Majesty's 'OFFICIAL' Opposition, their job is to keep the Government on its toes, and be prepared to take over as Government of this country if circumstances required this.

As 'Official Opposition Party' the Labour Party has certain Parliamentary powers, for instance they can call for votes of confidence in the Government.
