What is the point in local government elections and the main one?
Local elections are for the local electors to chose the party that is going to run your local affairs the most efficient way, although some people vote for the party that is going to give them the greatest cash windfalls paid for from the local council taxes. Local government provides education, housing, rubbish collection, social services, just to mention a few. They do this quite well in some parts of the country, and that’s extremely difficult to achieve when the national government of the past 10 years have persistently stuck their nose in and interfered with local government. You must have a Cabinet system, you must have our “preferred version” of an equal opportunities policy, you must build new houses in certain ratios, you must have legalised gypsy sites are just some of these nose poking ideas from national government.
