And the guardianship of democracy is not in dispute.(how much democracy have we got anyway?......you might want to ask G.Jones about that...with respect of the chance to have a say on a much more important issue...the EU)

I did not, and do not agree with HBC getting involved in issues which are international in their origin(I voted NO in the poll)....but I fail to see what a continued (circular)discussion has on this issue. I am happy to be enlightened though.

It is plain that the councillors concerned are not going to do anything about the situation(if anything could be done)....and they know of the displeasure of those who have commented on here, but this does not seem to move anyone either.....it is, therefore, a bit pointless.

So come the next General Election you'll be forgetting that your M.P. voted against you having a vote in a referendum on E.U. membership, even though you seemed quite keen to want one yourself?

This discussion, besides a councillor recently discussing it for the first time since the motion was supported, is valid because some of those politicans who voted for it will soon be up for re-election.
