They need to get George Osborne and David Cameron back, and then all will be fine.

They can be shockingly bad at times. As much as I don't like him, they're anti-Corbyn. Corbyn's hopeless, and should do the decent thing. McDonnell, on the other hand, has been about the best thing to happen to the high end of the big party politics for decades. Not so sure I want him as Labour...

Looks like Labour and the Greens will have to work together.

Tim is the most popular Tory in Withdean. What have the other two done?

I'm really pleased you did. My point is that local councillors, on the whole, work hard and are not well paid for their job -- this means that it discourages younger and working class members of the public from standing, as they don't have savings to rest on. There are all sorts of people...

Because the different parties have different visions for our city and, as a consequence, will try and bring about different policies. It's a local election, and local councils' power was drastically reduced by the centralising Thatcher, but there are still certain levers that local councils can...

You haven't been round these parts for long, I'd imagine. Fortunately the Green surge that began a few decades back has put paid to the Lib Dems. What's happened in B&H will hopefully happen soon enough in national politics. They're an irrelevance, and I blame that doe-eyed one that's currently...
