Labour yielding in Wealden May 02

Stumbled across this story about the local elections in Wealden, the district where I grew up.

Now, all parties, including my own, have trouble finding candidates in some areas, but, even knowing how sparse Wealden is for Labour (they have no seats on the district and only five at county level), their number of candidates really surprised me.

Conservatives: 51
Liberal Democrats: 36
Independents: 15
Greens: 12
Labour 2:
UKIP: 1

Two candidates? For over 50 seats? Crikey: this is the party running the country.
