Sorry Gayle .. still do not get it what 'policy' does this cover as a Labour Councillor then as opposed to the other parties ? Are you saying that you would have gone along with the Labour party, if you had been voted in, than with your true judgement on this issue, which you have expressed as being against. Why would Independents be pulling in different directions ?.. just 'yes' or 'no' as far as I can ascertain
OK .. Councillor Jones .. answer Garinda's question then ? Why do you 'personally' think that you may be in favour of this change ?
