Last Tuesday was a dramatic day in Cornish politics and I am glad to have played my part. If you were not one of the over 1000 people who watched it live, Conservative leader of Cornwall Council, Cllr Alec Robertson was thrown out of his position by a vote of 63 to 49.
It is never pleasant when a leader allows a situation to degenerate into a one where the only option left is to take a vote of no confidence but that is what happened. Speaking to Mr Robertson a few days before I told him that I would not wish this on anyone but that is lack of respect of democracy had left the council with no choice.
The new leader is Cllr Jim Curry (more to come on this)
