Cllr Knowles should stand for election
10:11am Wednesday 1st July 2009
In the Globe Mailbox of June 17, I read a letter from Cllr Denis Knowles responding to what he called “a steady stream of letters from bitter and twisted ex-Labour councillors.”
He then went on to call his former Labour Party colleagues “spineless” (bravely from the comfort of the Conservative benches).
Regardless of the reasons he gives for his defection from Labour, he now considers himself to be a Conservative, which is all well and good but what about the people who voted for a Labour councillor to represent them?
In effect, their vote has been stolen from them and changed to a Conservative vote.
If this man is so principled, surely he should have resigned his position as a Labour councillor and stood again, explaining his new found beliefs to the electorate of his ward and then let them decide whether or not to back him?
