No policies, no ideas, no alternatives, just smears....and don't even get me started on, interference in selection, jobs for the boys or local party coups

Vote Labour...the working class party...yeah right...

Re: The red wall
 

the above is a reason to take party politics out of local government. no matter what party that guy followed it did not make his work for the local community any better or worse. voting someone else in because of his party activists and parliamentary MP,s is totally rediculous.

Re: The red wall
 

So, the ex MP was trying to get this Independant guy to do what he had done just after he was elected to the house, betray his voters, after all he ignored our wishes so far as the EU was concerned and this chap was voted in as an independant and that is how his voters no doubt wish him to remain.

I can't wait for the next general election when the labour (we know better than you voting thickos) party will stupidly put Graham up for re-election and we get the chance to tell him to go away in short jerky movements.

Is any thinking person really surprised at how little integrity and self-respect many politicians have?
Here’s the latest about one that was once considered to be such a paragon of integrity that he was elected to run the Commons.

There are some really hard working local councillors on both sides,.. it's an absolute travesty that someone who is unelected can (allegedly)..offer chairmanship seats (who have double votes) to someone with an opposite political persuasion...

I guess this evidences why we have some really dross councillors (at least two lost seats this time), why we have wives, partners, brothers, aunts and second cousins etc standing year after year.

Politics is one of the few jobs that does not ask if you have a relative working for them

[QUOTE=Guinness;1254272]There are some really hard working local councillors on both sides,..

yes, i have known quite a number of them. the problem is that many in the past have not seeked re election after their time on the council is up. they just had enough of all the stuff that went on behind the scenes and did not want to become part of it.

Re: The red wall
 

If you were to look back over the many and varied political posts on this forum, you will find that I have said this many times.
Party politics in local government is not only unhelpful, it deters some people from voting.
But local politics is often the seed ground for those who have ‘national’ ambitions
Like our one time MP Graham Jones....that turned out well for us didn’t it?
