I AGREE with the editorial regarding the breakaway Labour councillors abandoning their voters so soon after election. I don't know how those Blackburn voters must feel seeing their democratic right for representation being treated with such disregard.
Supporters of the Lib Dems and Tories must also be feeling unsure about their own party's integrity if they are prepared to get into bed so quickly with these councillors for the sake of a short term political gain. I don't believe this partnership will last and given the next opportunity to vote, I hope Blackburn's voters don't forget. Who knows what these councillors will believe next week.
Power rather than principle is more of an issue to all parties involved.
S ROBINSON, Dukes Brow, Blackburn.
