It's ok, I accept your retraction G :D

...and I posted in reply that your 'if' is wrong.

The majority of residents, a ward not being a 'consituency', are not 'true blue Tories'.

They vote for the person, in this case one with a long track record, in historically a Labour ward, rather than the political party.

Twice you've wrongly posted the figure of £38,000.00 in this thread. Even after being corrected, now you've once again wrongly refered to ward residents as 'constituents.

As with throw away rermarks, accuracy, when it comes to facts, is much appreciated on here.

So do please make a stab at posting factually.

;)
