Costly, but that's democracy.

I also think that if a councillor decides to cross the floor, after being elected under a different party banner, they should stand for re-election.
Meccy, Iappreciate that you are a new member of the site, and would like to welcome you, but could you please expalin why you think this country is not democratic. I have searched for a definition of the word democracy and have found this (
Democracy is a form of government in which the supreme power is held completely by the people under a free electoral system). Here in the UK, anyone over the age of 18 (who register to vote) can exercise their right to vote for an MP, and the political part with the largest majority forms the government. Do you feel that there is a better way to determine how the national government (and all other local government) is chosen. Also here in the UK the counting of votes is done in front of representatives of all the political paries who have participated in the election, which I consider very important it the democratic process.
