Was exit caused by a lack of respect or reward?

It has been put to us by inside sources that a Godfather movie graphic we used in a post which highlighted flaws in cabinet-style politics would have been more appropriate for goings-on within Swansea council Labour group. The claim is that recent exits are a protest against disrespectful treatment of ‘veteran’ members - as earlier recounted by Peter Black on Freedom Central - whilst potentially troublesome newcomers are rewarded with jobs.

It’s a funny way to register a protest but to each their own, etc. However, where our information differs from the Lib Dem version is that we understand the dissenters have made it clear that they will not be joining a different group or forming their own. According to one of the trio who moved into smaller office premises the other day, they will stay inside the party but outside the group “until things change at the top”.

How anyone is actually going to achieve that change internally, without being able to call upon three missing votes, does not apparently play a large part of their thinking. Doh!
