Hot air
September 24th, 2006
As we prepare to (possibly) yawn the new era of a change of leadership in the ruling party into existence, we were wondering just how engaged we all are in politics. How much say do we have? How many of you know your councillors - parish, town, county/municiple/metropolitan? How many were elected? What does your MP do for you? NHS? War? Employment? Housing?
National parties representation in South Devon is already gearing up for the changes in the constituency boundaries, but is this more hot air, or are these power crazed loons people really going to do something for the community?
Let us know your experiences - we’ll keep you up to date as the general election approaches.

Very interesting, the number of councillors who are co-opted by their mates and therefore unelected is a scandal. These people have considerable influence on our lives yet we have no say in their selection. Dartmouth is a good example where a seagull killer can be a councillor! It is about time this matter was highlighted; no unlected councillors!!
