Oh dear...I have to agree with Less. I do not think we should judge our politicians on the basis of their weight, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, accent, age or disability. Rather we judge them on how well they do their job.
The fact is this mayor-making weekend has been an absolute waste of money; I am not sure who is responsible, the new mayor or Britcliffe. I am pretty certain it is the latter - he is, afterall, the man with the HBC chequebook.
If a mayor-making ceremony is really neccessary (which I doubt very much), would it not be better to defer it until June so it coincides with the Accy Carnival parade weekend? (I'm thinking a bit here of the London Lord mayor's Show)
We could always show our appreciation of the new mayor by having her/him driven around the town on the back of a float and we could bombard them with garlands of flowers or rotten eggs and tomatos.
When will Councillor Jones be Mayor, I wonder?
