The question is whether she will be made to walk the plank a little sooner. <br /><br />Assuming that the motion is worded in such a way that Plaid can support it, without at least some votes from the minority Labour group, the motion will fail.<br /><br />All eyes will therefore be on Labour, but their track record has been the opposite of what the Labour Party is supposed to be about. They have pushed through cuts in public services, supported the closure of village schools, allied themselves with big business in the field of planning, supported all of the chief executive's myriad rule changes to reduce democratic accountability and transparency and failed to use their position to insist on policies to help ordinary people, such as building affordable housing.<br /><br />Sadly, they've got themselves in so deep and abandoned so many of their principles, that it is a racing certainty that they will cling to Meryl's apron strings.Cneifiwrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767078276794410524noreply@blogger.com
