They did the same at the Woodberry Down estate in Hackney.
Labour has turned against the working class. They have become a centralised party, recruiting directly and deciding policy at the centre. They only really represent themselves now (a small self-perpetuating political elite that uses "Labour" as a concept-free brand name).
Tim Bale's article just published on the Progress website is apt - particularly the last paragraph (Tim Bale is professor of politics at Queen Mary College, University of London): http://www.progressonline.org.uk/2013/02/06/campaign-in-prose/
