No-one is blaming the Tories, Labour did abysmally in the last election. Wimbury was one of the worst candidates they’ve ever fielded in this town and it seems like she wants to stand as a candidate for North Wales in the upcoming Welsh elections. She wasn’t local and wasn’t aligned to the socialist side of the party either so people couldn’t really connect to who she was in either camps.
Obviously the Brexit positioning was also completely wrong as well. But Labour have been weak in this town for years, perhaps with the exception of Lucas (marmite I know).
Threw away the council leadership because they wanted to close down Plas Madoc which caused the defections (a move I strongly opposed and got me into local politics). They’ve never recovered since.
I’ve been without party since December, I’m always going to be anti Tory but there is not a party or leader in the UK or Wales I can really connect to.
I don’t really know what Starmer the Llama farmer stands for and seems about as exciting as a lockdown weekend in Holywell.
If someone started a party that was for the improvement of North Wales and protection of the NHS I’d vote for them.
