If by some chance we could take party politics out of local elections then I think (just maybe) more would get done locally...there would be none of this 'walking out' of meetings because a party didn't agree with what the ruling party were proposing.
More work would get done, more results would be achieved...there would be less mud slinging and in-fighting.
And that is precisely my point, you and I Margaret, are part of the 65% that see this, yet we either spoil or don't vote....apathy?
