Having the ‘guts’ at least to stand up to ‘his’ views and principles….having heard the news and reading his web-blog – but could there have been another motive?
Martin is a very experienced Town, District and County councillor, he has had a vast amount of training and on occasions says it as it is?
I would have thought that Martin had a ‘good’ idea of what he was letting himself into when he offered himself to be ‘elected’ as the Conservative Group leader of CCC and onto leader of Cambs County Council.
I am not here to criticise either his decisions or views he made on his web-blog in fact I sympathise to some extent his views on the elected UKIP councillors on CCC….
But he is tarring everyone with the same brush….What perhaps Martin and the majority of the Conservative group can not get to grips with is the ‘fact’ that ‘most’ UKIP’ sympathy comes from very disillusioned Conservatives?
I agree whole-heartedly in the respected I think it is wrong for someone to stand on a ‘political platform’ then for whatever reason decide be become ‘Independent’
I stood as an Independent, proud to have been elected as an Independent and will remain so until the next election.
I have been approached on a number of occasions by other political groups seeking my ‘friendship’ I am very humbled by these approaches…but my Independence is very important to me, as is other councillors who decided to stand on a political party platform – That is democracy.
