When will the local labour party realise that betrayed traditional labour voters like myself turned tot eh lib dems in 2005 in opposition to the iraq war. instead of selecting a hard working local candidate opposed tot eh iraq war, the local labour party opts for a stuck up london candidate with v little connection to manchester who SUPPORTS the Iraq war!!! Labour deserved the kicking they recieved on 3 may and they should be prepared to get a similar kicking at the next geeral election when Leech's result will increase, unles they pull the troops out of Iraq
