Not very often I personally would ask you a question but there have been many on here that have, do they seem pleased with the results? Surely they can't all be like me?
Your quite adept at the old sarcasm yourself, unfortunately it isn't a vote winner. I do wonder what we all deserve, jumping from a Tory frying pan into a Labour fire, wasn't my idea of how things would improve.

Then I'm genuinely sorry to have been a disappointment to you.
I've never been one to shy away from someone who takes a pop at me and I'll be the first to admit that I can be as sarcastic as the best of them but unfortunately it seems that stepping up to the political bar is in some way expected to remove all semblance of autonomous thought and turn people into 'all things to all men' so as not to offend anyone.
I'm afraid I don't fit that bill very well and will happy argue the toss with someone without worrying if it will cost me a vote or two. If I die by the sword because I speak about things how they really are then so be it, at least I will have served my time without watering my beliefs down to remain popular.
As far as the council itself is concerned, are you honestly serious about this administration being in any way comparable to the last one? We've not been perfect but I venture so far as to say that we've been a damn sight more transparent about things than our predecessors.
