When Peter Britcliffe stood as the Tory candidate, in 1997 and 2001 General Elections ,he did not stand down as a councillor before either election. So why would you expect Graham to step down?
In fact in Peter's speech, at the count - after the result had been declared, on both occasions he said that the people of Hyndburn has endorsed him as Tory Group leader.
