A member of Tipperary Town Council has announced that he has left the Labour Party.
Cllr Billy Bourke made the decision yesterday and cites his disillusionment with the party as his reason for doing so. In particular he has said that a lack of opposition from the higher ranks within the party to the abolition of Town Councils contributed to his decision.
Cllr Bourke said that while he is sad at having to make such a decision, he had to do so because he no longer thinks Labour, at its higher levels. represents the ordinary worker anymore.
