Liverpool 29

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Liverpool 29 councillors were 29 left-wing councillors on the Liverpool City Council who were suspended from the official Labour Party group on the council in 1990 for voting against rent rises, redundancies and implementation of the Poll Tax, in breach of the official party whip. They went on to form their own "Broad Left" group, standing independently in local elections, and also putting up Lesley Mahmood as a candidate in the Liverpool Walton by-election, 1991.
