I think we have never had a era locally, where clarity and public knowledge are a keystone to a party policy, as well using the public to air their views, and hopefully get answers. If you don't work/communicate with the people who vote you in you will be soon out, because the back handers, are gone for a long long time.

You're right.
Both Graham, and Ken, have used this medium, which is Accy Web, to communicate their political ideas to us, the electorate.
I applaud them for it.
It's a way of reaching us, that's open to every politican.
They haven't always said the right thing, and some of the Graham/Cyfr bickering made me cringe, but through their openess and honesty, have gained admiration and respect. Sometimes even from their political foes.
Tellingly, all the prospective parliamentary Conservative candidates joined Accy Web, in order to woo us. Though without any great sucess.
Personally I'd love the new council leader to post on here. So we could get to know the man behind the (comparatively few) photos of him in the press.
It is a new era, a new style of leadership, we're told.
Action, rather than a high media profile, 'showing' us how active they've been.
A new style, as far as local politics in Hyndburn is concerned.
I guess we'll have the opporunity to say which type of leadership we prefer...at the next election.
