    Keith what is it you don't understand? I have never accused Labour of being fully co-opted, unelected, or anything like that. My motivations for standing as an Independent were twofold:

    1. There was no elected opposition to Labour at DTC level.
    2. The DTC body at that time was preparing to waste £10,000 of taxpayers money on a clock. No provision for futre maintenance had been made. Plus, a huge amount of tax payers money, about £140k as I recall, had been spent on "entertaining". The Labour group at DDc had spent over £100k of tax payers money on "bus shelters" for the district, again with no provision for ongoing maintenance.

    So, those were my motivators. I don't blame Labour councilors for having no opposition, as I said earlier, it's not the councillors fault if no-one stands against them. I just determined to try and do something about it.

    I failed to get elected but at least I tried and like to think I was of some help to the other independants who came forward to have go as well.
