I suspect, given Kim Leadbeater's background, very few electors would see her candidacy as a problem. It's not like they've parachuted in a southerner from a central list who's background is solely at Labour HQ or 'SPAD' to a Shadow Minister.
There will though be resentments in the local party branches.
