Dizzy Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I'd rather see Conservatives join Labour than see them alongside the bunch of idiots they are joined with now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Diz; Before you describe just one of the Parties as a "bunch of idiots"; I'd suggest visiting a full Council meeting, then you'd discover they all are; and that's just the one's clever enough to play a speaking part!

Paul Kennedy Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Originally posted by Dismayed: I'd rather see Conservatives join Labour I wouldn't. Maybe there should be a "rainbow" coalition. There are, I would suggest, able councillors within WBC,alas they are not currently reflected in the leadership of the 2 largest parties on the Council And just a thought, for those readers who feel that they could do a better job than the incumbents, elections for all Parish and Borough seats are on 1st May....so get your nomination papers in, and let the people decide.

observer Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 "the people" unfortunately, don't have a clue as to the individual abilities of candidates; most of those who do vote, do so for a Party Label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of all the timewasters, idiots and ones who don't do anything or refuse to listen to people and group all the remaining good ones together.
