SOME of the town's grassroot Labour supporters have snubbed Laura Moffatt by deciding NOT to automatically back her as the party's next candidate for MP.
The Observer can exclusively reveal that members of the Ifield and West Green Labour group made the decision at a special joint meeting on Sunday.The agenda for the meeting states: "The Crawley Constituency Labour Party has began the process to decide whether Laura Moffatt MP should automatically become our next Parliamentary Candidate or whether we should proceed to have a full selection process and panel of candidates."This is your chance to have a voice in what happens."A source told the Observer that the vote in Ifield went eight to two against Laura with the vote in West Green polling seven to one against.MP Laura has represented Crawley since 1997, but now has the smallest majority in the country - just 37 votes.When we contacted the MP she confirmed she was aware of their decision but sought to play down the embarrassing snub.She said: "It is fine, its absolutely cool I have done it before."
