The Labour Party in BristolWest has made false claims that their MP Valerie Davey "voted against the war" in Iraq.
Valerie Davey (and Doug Naysmith, BristolNorthWest) did vote for two amendments which stated that 'the case for military action against Iraq is as yet unproven' (Division 96, 26/2/2003) and that 'the case for war against Iraq has not yet been established' (Division 117, 18/3/2003).
The Green Parties in Bristol continue to condemn the lack of integrity shown by the Labour leadership and some Bristol Labour MPs over the decision to intervene militarily in Iraq.
