That makes total sense

That makes total sense, I mean it's good sense to target those seats with less of a swing required to win, but there's little to be gained from publicizing this fact.

It just comes across as cold, calculating, lazy, doing just enough to win but no more, maybe lacking in confidence, to declare publicly you are NOT contesting a whole load of seats, at least not seriously!

You may as well have a crack at a wider range of seats, it gives the impression of a more up-for-it and confidence party.

Although in reality....
South Herefordshire is rank 286 in terms of swing needed....
