whats teh point in standing for election if you are going to abstain from important decisions for teh district.If you do not vote you are not representing your people and tehrefore shoud stand down and give way to somone who will vote on important matters
in my opinion this is nothing more than an absolute disgusting display of backhand polotics and corruptness

I wouldn't go so far as to attack the Independents for what they have done today and in terms of local politics their hearts are in the right place.
Unfortunately, being Independent is a way of showing your interest in local politics but trying to remove yourself from local politics at the same time. It also removes the crutch of a party machine when you need help and certainly leaves you at a disadvantage in the council chamber when it comes to voting for facilities in your ward as you become reliant on votes from other parties.
