Torfaen Election Results!

I am a bit shell shocked with the results of the Torfaen Elections. This forum/blog, was started with never a thought that the balance of power would change so dramatically! Labour losing overall control, unbelievable but what a marvellous opportunity to reduce the influence of officers and the party system in Torfaen politics forever.

So I am both pleased and apprehensive. Who will be in charge, will the officers have even more control over inexperienced cabinet members, we shall see?

I must say that I am pleased that our Upper Cwmbran councillors did not change. They may be labour, and part of the party machine, but they have been prepared to act independently when the need arises. This is reflected in their keeping their same share of the vote, their electorate thinks they have represented them well. Congratulations to them!!
