Mis-use of party political whips

Bob Spink says:

I now hear from one of the Councillors that the Tories were told that unless they voted to destroy the pool they would have the whip withdrawn.

This shows why I was right to become Independent so I can do and say what is right and honest.

This means that decent Tory Councillors are thrown out if they do their job honestly and fairly for residents, while these Conservatives refuse to remove their whip from Tory Councillors who are suspended, (twice in a few months), for:

'Bullying, intimidation and serious planning 'irregularities' in seeking an advantage for himself and others on planning, promoting plans for "a developer friend", the Council's QC said "He continued to lobby for a site in which he clearly had a significant interest.'

He also is the Conservative Association Chairman of Fundraising and Campaign Director for the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate.
