Lets hope that we get someone who has been elected by the people for the people and not putting up for election for what he/she may get out of it.....that would be a novelty

Brian,
I echo you!
I know one Independent candidate who will stand his ground, but when the rest are the same befuddled disinterested bunch, what chance?
Why we cannot dismiss the total Council on each and every election defeats me, although there will be a devious reason.
Roll-on May 1st.

Richard Langford,
Somewhere, among all my ranting, you will see I have said the same thing. I think the main cause for concern is the rush into Postal Voting. So easy for Mail bags to be left accidentally lying about in dark cellars?
Heaven help us when they get On-Line voting sorted out they'll manipulate like the blazes.
