On that occasion the person i beat in the selection process (a sitting conservative County councillor) stood as an independent against me. With a split vote, an election agent who decided to defect to Frank Branston, and an indifferent party we came 3rd.<br /><br />Bedford Conservative politics has become a cesspit, and until our members understand that stories about discontent will only drive away our natural support and let our opponents gain a foothold we will be destined to be out of power in this town for many more years to come.<br /><br />incidentally the councilor in question in the 2002 was duely expelled from the party despite some of the other councillors who wanted to keep him in. It is enough to make you despair.<br /><br />Charles RoseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-49154651145438020772009-10-21T22:46:03.148+01:002009-10-21T22:46:03.148+01:00"It would be cruel to say what goes around, c..."It would be cruel to say what goes around, comes around." <br /><br />No, it is just a law of humanity that as ye sow, so shall ye reap..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
