Dave Clark's reply (Letters, March 27) to my letter implies the two councillors who left our Conservative group for the Lib Dems were forced out.
Not so, Dave, unlike the two councillors who were forced out of their Labour seats in Marina ward for not supporting the whims of Lord Bassam.
Our two actually quit of their own accord - one left and the other promptly followed.
I also understand their first approach was to the Labour group, who we know only too well were wise enough to refuse them.
-Geoff Wells, Conservative councillor for the Woodingdean ward, Brighton
