Unless someone stands for a bong eyed loony party I suspect most will go with the Tories as there appears to be no other viable alternative

All we need now is for the Tories to win Hartlepool and there's a very good chance the new Mayor will make sure we get a fair share of any investment money going.

The constituency polls put the Tories 2% in front in Hartlepool at the moment.

Trouble is the 'Mayor' has to rely on five Labour Councils. Result , chaos.

Or...........the two sides could compromise and work towards making sure both types of voters get some of what they want. Its a quaint old idea but  utterly crushing and disenfranchising everyone who does not agree with 'you' might not be the only  way forward.

Can you honestly see CAB signing up to that - he consigned Drummond to history - where was the spirit of cooperation then?

He can react how he wants. I am simply saying there is a way forward if the myopic all-or-nothing obsessives want to find a way. Hopefully the coming storm will rid us of the crooks and thieves currently holding sway in Hartlepool.

There will be a Leaders Monthly Meeting, the plots and plans to thwart any progress the Tory Mayor may want to make in Tees Valley will come thick and fast........ Cwistopher's handbook on how to get rid of an elected Mayor will be a must read for his fellow leaders.

He is buggered. He promoted it and it came back and bit him on the ar*se. If he wants to obsess about it then let him. He is stuck with the result and it will be thrown back in his face all the time. Its his own personal Albatross.
Perhaps some obliging Councillor could warmly congratulate him in chamber for his sterling work. Achieving what most thought was impossible. Getting a Tory elected on Teesside!

That's the sensible, logical conclusion that most people would adopt, working in co-operation.

However, we aren't dealing with ordinary people. We're dealing with political scorpions. A scorpion asked a tiger for a lift across a river. The tiger said no, you'll sting me. The scorpion pleaded and said he wouldn't because if he stung the tiger they'd both drown. The tiger saw the logic and gave the scorpion a lift. Halfway across the scorpion stung the tiger. The tiger said why did you do that, you promised not to and we're going to die now. The scorpion said I know, but I'm a scorpion and that's what we do.

I chose my words very carefully. I would be lying if I said any  offence was unintentional.

[Inspector Knacker]

I'd have loved to his face when the result was announced. He probably wants to see if it's posdible to backdate a mayoral referendum. Enjoy.

[Land Phil]

So will Ray have to act like a Conservative.
