Well, that's my point exactly. At what point have we discussed with our elected members which way we wish them to vote on this? It wasn't part of their election material and it's not in their manifesto.
I appreciate that the Councillor who brought it up has a vested interest in the issue but were the rest of the Councillor's fully informed and able to make a responsible decision on this, or have they thought to themselves 'oh well, let's support our fellow Councillor because it doesn't really affect us'?
