Don't blame Gordon Browne!

You cannot blame the abolition of the 10p tax band or Gordon Browne for the demise of the labour vote in Torfaen. If you take away the inherent inbred bias towards voting labour then the labour party have done very badly indeed. People wanted a change. The labour members were gutted, but showing the superb skills that have kept Bob Wellington in charge over the years a defeat was turned into a victory.

Yes good men were lost, but battles are like that; however out of defeat the labour leadership have negotiated a victory. Now with the loss of some top men even the lowest member of the labour ranks has been promoted to the officers mess. It's an ill wind as they say. They can all hold their heads up high, as they know in their hearts they are the only ones talented and experienced enough to govern, the rest are just a disorganised rabble.
Any comments?
