Now, two defecting councillors (what's the betting they had been deselected by their local parties?). I don't think this is the first time this has happened. How a practically invisible party achieves this is amazing…
TUSC picked up two defecting Labour councillors in Southampton last year:http://www.tusc.org.uk/press150513.phpOne is standing for re-election this May as a TUSC candidate. In the olden days such people were known as "Independent Labour". Which in effect is what TUSC and the SLP are.
