Did appear to sneak up on us though, didn't it, giving us very little time to object to the proposal.

I'm not sure that it snook up on us...but there was very little canvassing done by the prospective candidates. I received no information through my letterbox about any of the four candidates.......and no-one came door to door canvassing.
This leads me to believe that our views are not important.
And if candidates
appear to have no real committment to those who are putting the cross on the ballot paper, you can be pretty sure they aren't going to be interested in doing anything for the electorate once they are elected.
I am very disillusioned by the whole system......if voting changes nothing then
not voting has to be tried...just to see if it will make those in power sit up and take notice......if this doesn't work, then we might be in for a revolution.
