12 SEATS AT RISK AT NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY COUNCIL


There are certain givens in all of this.
Within ‘Follies’ we have done the work on the wards – there are 12 at serious risk of turning to Liberal and one or two Tory.

All that Labour can hope for will be to be returned as the largest group in a NOC Council.
The likelihood is however that the Liberals and Tories will join forces.

Standing on a ticket of ‘ give the people a referendum’ the ‘Torlibs’ as one member called their alliance, cannot fail can they?

Looks whats happened in Cheshire – one council changed hands and the whole review has been stopped in its tracks.

District councillors, furious at the stab in the back from previous comrades will not support the return of those responsible for this debacle – particularly if Labour North bends the rules again.
This is the Labour North who still refuse to sanction a return to the party system with a County Party, preferring to wait and see if the NEC will allow themselves to appoint candidates.

Follies foresees a plethora of Independent Labour Councillors supporting the referendum ticket, we do not wish to see this.
Those few, those very few, who pursue the ideal of One Council have a ‘tiger by the tail’.

My regards to all my comrades.

Isoceles – a new voice for democracy.
