Stuart Craft, Oxford’s last remaining Independent Working Class Association councillor will stand down .
“I couldn’t stand on people’s doorsteps any more, telling them we were going to change things when that wasn’t going to happen…We’ve been banging our heads against a brick wall for 10 years now…We’ve been trying to push the agenda for working class people, but nothing seems to get done in the council chambers…All the hours I spend in the chambers would be much better spent on the estate doing something valuable for people living there…If we continued to stand in the council and achieving nothing, all the hard work would be forgotten.”
“Our biggest success was getting elected in the first place. We got into the Labour strongholds of Wood Farm and the Leys. And we demystified politics, showing that working class people can get elected.”
