Eagle Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Where does the "Win back power" come from? Labour have 27 seats, Lib Dem 24 & Tory 6 hardly a position of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P J Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 seriously though, can the Conservatives continue to prop up the Libs after outing them as disgusting etc. ? I dont always see eye to eye with Paul Kennedy but Ihe doesn't strike me as hypocritical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Gary, they don't need an alliance they just keep voting against Labour out of habit. I am sure when it comes to filling the various posts that their votes will be placed for mutual benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Gary, they don't need an alliance they just keep voting against Labour out of habit. I am sure when it comes to filling the various posts that their votes will be placed for mutual benefit. Only if the two opposition parties agree to oppose a Labour proposal. The Tories will not oppose anything if they think it is for the good of the town - so I am told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Does that mean we could well see another Lib Dem and Conservative alliance/coalition or whatever it is called at local level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I agree with that approach Gary and I hope it is forthcoming but when most things that the Tories (&Lib Dems ) have done "for the good of the town" have been slagged off by the Labour faction in general and Ms Jones in particular. I am sure there will be a certain amount of retribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
