Well, like Mick I have voted Labour all my life and was active in the party for nigh on thirty years, but this lot are nothing like the Labour party I joined and was proud to be a member of. Being a councillor is a privilege not a right, yes, you have to make difficult decisions but you must always remember you are there to serve the people in your borough, not to please yourself and swan around playing the big 'I Am'. You need to keep yourself fully briefed and walk your ward frequently, and remind yourself you are not elected to play political games in the civic centre, or to pursue some sort of power within your group.  You are there to be an advocate and representative. Above all else you need to understand - as some of this lot clearly don't - that in a democracy the majority carry the day whether personally you agree with that or not. If you are not prepared to take your own consultation results seriously how can you expect the electorate to have any respect for you? Certainly in my house there are four of us looking at our options for next May, and Labour doesn't rank highly I can tell you.
