QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Mar 19 2018, 07:32 PM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) Still not clearing litter though. I despair sometimes. We can give prime development land away, spend hundreds of thousands on cafes, vanity projects abound. But we can't get the recycling done, borrow a library book or use a loo. Progress huh. And yet you'll still vote for them!

QUOTE (Mr Brown @ Mar 19 2018, 09:54 PM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) And yet you'll still vote for them! And thereby lies the problem. Those who should be in local government are precluded by the fact they wouldn't want the job which leaves those who think they can do it but patently can't. Perhaps we should abstain from using the ballot box?

And they are the ones at the front of the queue when it comes to complaining over how things are run. I think it's only fair to say that any government, ( local or national ), is only as competent as the opposition members allow. Sort of "Peter principle" in politics. Now that is a conspiracy theory to contemplate.

We may complain, but it is the electorate, us, that puts them in place (and the council officers who tell them what to do).
