| "Well it is cetainly the case that Labour - which by the way is not my party, as I belong to none - lost the 2006 elections. That doesn't mean it pushed the Conservatives into colaition with you, they could have "ruled" as a minority party and sought agreement on each issue as it arose. So they are as culpable for inviting you in, as you were for wanting power without being prepared to accept responsiblity for the collective actions of the coalition." Dan Bearing in mind the savage cuts, with millions of local authority workers subject to compulsory redundancy notices and thrown onto the dole, not to mention outbreaks of plague, pestilence and famine throughout the borough and £313k jollies to Cannes (the figure you quoted in one posting), wouldn't you have thought the Labour Party might have wanted to spare the citizens of the borough from all this hardship? What with all their concern for the voters' welfare, and all that. So what efforts precisely did they make to form an administration before walking voluntarily into opposition and allowing the savage Tory beasts to assume power? What, specifically, were the insurmountable obstacles that prevented Labour from trying to form a coalition administration which they might have led? Particularly in the light of the fact that, as they would have you believe, the ICG have been such a pushover as coalition partners. Have you put this question to them Dan? I'm sure you must be as keen to know as are all those residents whom they meekly and wilfully abandoned in their hour of need? Just what exactly was the point of high principle over which Labour voluntarily handed over power to the Tories after 35 years? Aw go on Dan, do ask them... |
