Going Going Gone
Friends and readers. the votes have been cast the voters have spoken. The ruling party’s arrogance has come back to haunt them. Next year it will be your turn both national and local. We have an interesting contest in Greater Pilton. The establisment councillors will have to decide who gets what and who will be dumped.
But why should it be so. We feel as many in this community that change is overdue and they should all get the boot, and the community should stand its own candidates, with a community agenda, isn’t that a novel idea. But it is not beyond the realms of possibility, as we have spoken to two potential candidates who if decided to stand could well have an excellent chance of beating the labour party machine. One in particular gave an interesting response to us when we asked why he had not stood before. He told us nobody had asked him.
It is that simple. we understand the fear of taking on the party machine, but we also know that people are sick of what is going on and may welcome a change and might even vote for it. The Tories are just a joke and the Lib dems, well nobody really knows what they stand for except which way the wind blows. So the time could well be right for someone to come forward and have a go, what have you got to lose.Â
