I think it is great that New Labour have won this. I am less thrilled that the Tory took it.
I hope at the next general election there are some real support for local independent candidates.

OP, what would you want to see happen at the next election?

There is the list of who stood, have we got numbers yet?

Shows what's on their mind - like when Brown, our truly most incompetent excuse for a PM ever said "Obama Beach", instead of Omaha Beach!
