The Left List, represented by Lindsey German, in the London Mayoral elections was the moniker for the 'Respect Coalition' - another name for this party of many names.

RESPECT - The Unity Coalition - News

The group was over-shadowed by pracitically most of the other candidiates (surprisingly including UKIP and the English Democrats BBC NEWS | Election 2008 | London Mayoral Election 2008).

Was this the result of a surge in Leftist support for Livingstone to stave off a Boris Johnson challenge or is Respect/Left List - a movement that returned George Galloway to Parliament in only 2005 facing a tricky future?

How will this party, so much like the old Labour Socialists, fare in the near future? A steady growth under the collapse of New Labour or a Leftist 'Flash in the Pan?
