Erm! This is about a few very minor councillors in Dover not Westminster or even lowly DDC.
In my opinion it should not matter which party they lean towards they should put Dover first, second all the way through to last, party loyalties should never intrude.

Having said that I thought Keith meant they might resign as a councillor not switch political loyalties.
