Gayle, you may wish to stick to local politics, but I reckon you're wasted. You'd make a great national politician with your amazing aptitude for avoiding questions.

Are you seriously telling me that you only have views on local issues and you have no views at all on national issues? And if you do have views on national issues, what's the big deal about sharing them with us?

Could it be that if you defend the government line on, say, deporting asylum seekers who have committed serious crimes, you are worried about alienating potential future voters if you run again? And, equally, if you attack government policy, you are worried that you will incur the wrath of the Labour hierarchy and you won't be asked to run again?

Ah well, I suppose we'll never know!
