I agree.
It would have been a much closer battle, two locals, the leader of the couuncil going head to head with the leader of the opposition.
Going against the grass root support doesn't seem very democratic.
You might not believe me, but I am disappointed for you.
A well known local candidate will have a major advantage, rather than someone shipped in from outside, who doesn't understand the area, or it's people.
