Re: What do preople think abvout the possibility of Peter Law rejoining the Labour Party? My view is that it would be wrong simoply becasue he stood as an independent and so may have attracted votes from people who would NOT have supported Labour. I believe he has a moral obligation to stay independent. -- Abertillery Online Message Board

I don't think he should either. But I suspect he will eventually. I think the local Labour Party won't want him back but the national party will be keen to regain the seat. I know they might wait to regain it at the next election but that is a long way away and if Peter manages to get enough popular support over the next few years he may well make the seat his. I think you are right though that a lot of people would be disappointed.

Re:Sorry, deleted the previous line! I watched a tv program last week, during which they interviewed the local Labour rep, Peter Law and Peter Hain. There was some mention of Peter Law's reasons for standing as being more to do with his ego than his politics, I have no idea, I've never met the man. However, what did sadden me was the arrogance of Peter Hain ... what ever happened to 'a party of the people, for the people'? I'm completely disheartened by the bombastic, prefect-like, attitude of New Labour. For the first time since I've been able to vote, my apathy knows no bounds. Ok, whinge over.
