iv often said party labels should be removed from county and ocal concil the only time it matters is for government
if people didnt have to choose a side and the only choice was the person and what they can bring to the table it would remove a lot of sillyness and petty squabbling
i dont have examples to hand but its been reported on here that a good idea for the area has been turned away simply on the basis that the opposing party suggested or wanted it which i have no doubt hs happened in both directions
its no better than kids saying dont play with that kid because hes different or comes from a different area of accy
