The council chose "dim and cheap running" if you want "bright but more expensive" then change the council.
"Good morning Sir I am your candidate for the forthcoming local council elections. Can I count on your vote?"
"What type of Christmas lights are you planning to erect in Thatcham this year?"
"Well to cut our costs and eventually those of the taxpayer, you, and to provide a greener solution, we are going for dimmer LED type."
"Then the answer is no, I only vote for bright Christmas lights, sorry!"
"But wouldn't you like to discuss other issues which may affect your decision?"
"No, sorry, the lights are the decider for me!"
