A view from the backbenches

This email, sent to all members of Cornwall Council, by the Falmouth Arwenick Independent member Steve Eva:

Dear Alec,
I have no problem with you attending the awards I do how ever have a problem with the fact that you totally ignore the fact we have a Chairman of the Council. Your position is as leader of the political side of the Council and the Chairman's job to be the figurehead which given the chance she does extremely well. If you have a problem with that maybe you should look at your own role which you have attracted a lot of bad press on behalf of us all and if that is not enough for you maybe you should give someone else a chance and step aside.

I guess that means councillor Eva's vote can no longer be relied upon (if it ever could) to support the Conservative-Independent administration.
