I know that it doesn't make it true, but I was just saying where my bit of information came from. I didn't say it was true...I just said what I had been told.(pretty much the same as another member of the forum)
But even if this was misinformation, it did not come from a local politician who has mileage to make by talking down the current leading party.
It doesn't ring true that those at the bank would want to get embroiled in the day to day feudings of local politics.
