Change that system and then people can actually start voting for the politician that they think will do the best for them in their own area.

Couldn't agree more Gayle, I have always been of the opinion that you don't always get the best voting on party lines, especially at local level, but there is little or no chance of a change to no party franchise happening any time soon. There are good councillors who do a first class job for the people who elect them, Its well known on here that I ain't a fan of Graham Jones, but from what I've heard and read about him, he does a very good job in and around Peel Ward and I think that goes for most councillors of all parties
