A political tale of Poetic Justice or was it Revenge.

At one time Nora Goss was a Labour Party Councillor and became under the Labour Administration of the day Mayor of Southampton. Subsequently there was parting of the ways and Councillor Goss joined the Liberal Democratic Party. Thereafter she was nominated by the Lib Dems for a further stint as Mayor but the Labour Party were having none of this and vetoed her appointment

Earlier this month the result of the local elections for Southampton City Council resulted in The Conservative Party obtaining the same number of seats as Labour and the decision on who should be the ruling party depended on the minority Liberal Democratic members. They decided to sit on their hands except for Mrs Goss who broke ranks and voted for the Conservatives. There must have been some consternation in Labour ranks but revenge disguised as political justice is sweet particularly when one has to wait some years to administer the act.
