So to show just how im even handed in my approach,
the fiasco on the women only shortlist on the county council was the biggest farces going and ending with my resigning in the end.
to show at that time how this leader acted at the time.
the national labour party(rightly) suggested methods to increase women participation in the party at all levels.
the leader of the labour group at the county council at that time then attempted to push this through (remember he was holding one of 2 deal seats)
he suggested the dover seat should be one of the 2 women only
i challenged the national party who told me it was only a suggestion!!!!
the county labour leader at county meetings was pushing for it,
then blaming the regional labour party when it was raised in dover labour meeting.
so i challenged the county party/regional parties
had it even been suggested by the county labour leader to have one deal seat and one dover seat women only it would have rang better, but no he wanted to make sure he held his seat and that of the chief whip.
so i fought them
and although the caved in on the dover seat they then turned there attn to reg
where i again fought with bill newman/reg to change this disaster of a policy
with quite a large number of women in the party agreeing it shouldnt happen.
i could see the party didnt care
so after talks with bill/reg and other labour officials i could no longer continue
this amongst other issues going on at the time.
this leader was a control freak he called me to the county labour group for daring to question him at the local level
of course the county party never even entertained him once it reached there
so i did a 100 mile round trip, to be told, this is rubbish it wont be heard!!!
so off i toddled home!!
but getting back to the thread, dover hasnt woken up to the call and is willing to hope that this little ripple will go away
sadly for them im just warming up
