ObLondonFact - the GLC was set up by the Tories including areas which
aren't really London partly because the old LCC basically had an
inherent Labour majority (which is why Labour bitterly opposed the
foundation of the GLC, of course). The GLC was marginal for most of its
existence, as, it seems, is the GLA.
