I heard of the six councillors who quit their positions in the Labour Party. There seems to be some confusion regarding the reason for this breakaway.
The six councillors are very well known and highly respected members of the community. The public would therefore like to know the real reason behind what has happened. There must be a valid reason to why these councillors quit. The newspapers have so far only shown a one-sided argument but we would like to see what the other side has to say.
This year Labour has had many people people argue against their decisions - especially that of the war.
Even though I was against the war I voted Labour becuase of these councillors. I am sure many people have a lot of faith in these councillors and therefore voted for Labour knowing that these councillors are there to supports them.
For the councillors to quit at such short notice seems puzzling. Especially having survived a very hard election in ganing many Labour votes.
