Re: General Election called

I think it might be because whatever party gets in, they are all the same.
I truly believe that local politics should be divorced from political banners and that the people elected should have only one aim...and that is not to score political points at meetings, but to get their heads together and do the very best they can to serve the community.
I don't think it should be a stepping stone to Parliament...and for most local politicians it isn't...but our MP started out in local politics.
You would think give him a unique insight into the issues faced by local people.
I voted for him last time on this premise.
I haven't seen much that has fulfilled my hopes and I was disappointed so he did not get my vote this time.
