What happened to transparency and openess?
In the interest of true independence I, along with many others, would be interested in Cllr. Pritchard's reasons for leaving his last party, and his reasons for backing the party that'll form the majority party at H.B.C.

Of course, the flip side of this is why other Independents, one who had left the Labour party a few years ago, were so quick to go back to Labour rather than maintain their independence. Whilst you're questioning Malcolm Pritchard's motives, you might want to question the other independents. I mean, let's face it, it's only Malcolm who's being called in to question here because he's the last person to nail his colours to the mast - 3 other independents were very quick to relinquish their independence at the thought of having a chance to get into power.
Plus, wasn't one of those other independents (David Mason?) elected in as a Tory, or have I imagined that?
