Anyone know the real reason why he left the Labour party and became independant? I have heard rumours but prefer to hear it from the horses mouth

Would it not be better, if all politicians are up front and honest, to tell us all why you left your party and went independant, rather than just PM Neil? If you are an honest man then you will have nothing to hide. ( Unless it involves someone else)
Sorry if this comes across as abrupt or nosey but I'm just voicing an observation.

I agree.
When the balance of the whole council lies in the hands of one independent councillor, it does all seem a bit cloak and dagger, that he seems willing to share information privately, but unwilling to do it publicly.
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.

It would seem a reasonable thing to know wouldn't it?
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it on here though, perhaps we need to start a rumour over in anything goes, you know the sort of thing, someone makes a three word post, the next does similar and so on until just by imagining the worst we hit on the truth.
or
The potential next Mayor, (I hope you haven't been playing carrots & donkeys Hyndburn), could just tell us in this thread? ![Smilie](https://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Perhaps Adrew B would like to ask all Councillors what special allowances they take besides their basic allowances?

There does seem to be quite a lot of biterness, and I think we should be told why.
Perhaps he'll feel better, and happier, when he's wearing the Mayoral chains of office.

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council election results 2010
whilst i can accept/understand any elected person from any party,walking away fer whatever reason n becoming "Independant" no problem, what i cannot accept/understand is ANY elected person completely changing allegiance n colours, they used to "Execute" Traitors way back. ![Frown](https://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif)

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?

dont think independants of whichever party, returning to the fold is questionable gayle, its completely changing colours that is in my book.

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council election results 2010
It seems that most politicians have their price - pity that some set it so low.
I do not know about any bickering or shinanegging in the past, so see this as -
'support exchanged for a mayoral chain'
....and its only on loan! - cheap really aint it?

I'm only curious why he seems happy to share his reasons privately, via the private message system, but not do it openly.
Personally I have the strength in my own convictions, and if I have something to say, am more than willing to do it publicly, not whispering it behind my hand.
