I am completely stumped - all my life I have held a strong opinion that if you have a vote then you should use it, sadly I don't think I can this year. Local democracy is being eroded in Hounslow, with too many below par candidates and the insistence of a few people at the top lording it over everyone else and little if any accountability. The cabinet system is broken and does not work at local level. We will have 62 councillors with the boundaries changing, all of them could and should have a part to play, and be subject to annual scrutiny on any positions that they hold, as used to be the case. I cannot in all conscience support the Labour party as I've done all my life, a party I was once proud to belong to and which, with all the questions now about the connections with developers currently ruining our borough with their never-ending building of flats, has huge questions hanging over it. The opposition has never really been up to much either and when you look at the existing occupant of No. 10 it's enough to make you cry. |
