well i have to say straight away that i've erm worked on a council with the labour party in opposition with us, and now with the labour party in government with us  with us a very small group, and i have to say it's much preferable to have the labour party in power than to have the conservative party in power as far as we're concerned, because at local level the sort of things that we want to do — providing better services, caring of people, all those sort of things — we don't disagree.
