On the other hand, Marti Zucco and Richard James both emphasised strongly their anti-Lennon-gang positions. Zucco is a very visible figure in the community, and also ran several strongly-worded “democracy not dictatorship” ads in the Mercury, and James engaged in a valiant doorknocking effort from day 1. I suspect that it could well be the anti-dictatorship vote that has buoyed Marti Zucco’s polling (especially as Bonham has not so far come up with any other theory).
