Cynical, moi?
From Pravda Central:
"Local Government Minister John Healey has today launched a consultation on whether or not the date of the 2009 local elections should be moved to coincide with elections for the European Parliament".
Hands up anyone who thinks that a decision will be based on a reason other than the prospective electoral advantage to the Labour Party.
One might note that the government has had plenty of time to think about this, what with council and EU 'parliament' terms being fixed.
