Most likely Alliance, but possibly Tory

Not the Tory. Maybe the Social Democrat, probably Labour, but not the Tory.

Grant, since I would've supported the Alliance in 83 and 87.

Was it clear yet at the time that Corbyn was a tankie crank? If so probably Alliance.

Michael O'Halloran, for the simple reason that I would never vote for the Alliance and equally would not vote for Corbyn (both with and without hindsight).

He was known to be very much on the left of the party and a close associate of Tony Benn, but apart from that I don't think some of his more "interesting" views on the world were widely circulated.

Michael O'Halloran, btw, is recalled as one of Labour's less high powered (shall we say) MPs - back in the run-up to the 1975 European referendum he had the unique distinction of signing separate EDMs that both supported and opposed the UK's continued membership Smiley
