Politicans are as free to post here as anyone else. If they so wish.
Though no one's holding a gun to their head, forcing them to share their thoughts.

It's up to them whether they post on here or not. After all, with the exception of "Whittaker" Tory councillors never post on here, as far as I'm aware.
However, when Labour were in opposition, we had councillors posting on here regularly telling us all about what the council were doing wrong. Now, they're in the hot seat, you very rarely hear a peep from them (with the exception, it has to be said, of Ken Moss).
So, if people notice that and draw their own conclusions, they can hardly complain about it. It certainly doesn't sit well with me.
