Former Labour chair now chairing the Greens!
Former Labour chair and Emma Dent Coad’s right hand man, David Kear has not only joined the Green Party, he is now the Co Chair.
The question is will his BFF and mentor follow suit?
Cllr Dent Coad switched wards last local elections from Golborne to St Helen’s Ward but there’s a problem with that now. She left the Labour Party and won’t get reelected if she stands again.
Dent Coad’s Kensington and Bayswater General Election bid last year ended with her losing her deposit.
St Helen’s is a two party ward that only ever has a decent sized vote for either Labour or the Conservatives. No vote for Greens and no vote for independents.
Mona Adam is the only Green Party councillor after she defected from Labour and there is a sizable population of disaffected leftwingers in the ward.
Golborne is the only ward that the Greens have a chance of winning in.
So if Emma Dent Coad wants to stand as a councillor again, and if David Kear wants to work to get her back in the Town Hall again, she’ll have to switch wards – and go back to Golborne all over again!
Don’t you just wish some people would just make up their minds and stick with it?
