| Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear......democracy is all well and good - except when it doesn't do what 'I' want. The present Labour Council, like it or loathe it, was VOTED IN by a democratic system. The arguments against them in this thread read more like the politics of Donald Trump. Any moment now someone is going to say that Labour stole the votes of the Conservatives! Rather than trash the present Council put your ideas forward backed by some relevant evidence or belief. By all means disagree but what puts people off engaging in reasoned political debate are character assignations and simplistic arguments. A low turnout is a message for all participants to get back to, if we ever had it, some agreed consensus - that elusive thing called the Social Contract where we have more things that unite us than divide us. So if the poor should be helped with a liveable wage, the ill treated free at the point of service, that there should be homes for all and we should all be safe on the streets how come in the 21 Century no political leader or party has been anywhere near successful?
