The fact it didn't is a stain on its record and last night we saw electoral consequences to that.
My interview with @BBCr4today this morning:
#Vänsterpartiet fick 15,9% i Göteborg på SCBs senaste undersökning. Distriktet jobbar hårt för att förena #aktivism med parlamentariskt arbete. Den positiva trenden visar att det ger resultat, det känns jättekul, säger distriktsordförande Adriana Aires #vgbgftw
