I TAKE issue with David Ellis's suggestion that a vote against Labour on May 1 will not change the situation in Iraq (March 24).

Massive public pressure on our elected representatives forced the biggest Parliamentary revolt in recent years, but failed to move York MP Hugh Bayley.

The council elections will be the first opportunity for the public to express their revulsion against Tony Blair's party at the ballot box.
