I SHOULD like to support Cllr John Arnold’s comments on the selection of the Labour prospective parliamentary candidate for Itchen.
As a member of the Labour Party for many years, I was impressed with the commitment and diligence shown by all four candidates, and I deeply resent the implication in Cllr Thomas’s letter that members had little, if any, say.
Many of us spent three hours on a stiflingly hot Sunday afternoon in July listening to the candidates, posing questions, and then making up our minds in a secret ballot.
Rowenna Davis’s selection was fair and democratic.
WYN JEFFERY, Southampton.
