Everyone,
Please do not rise to it.
You're quite right. There's no point with some people. It's just a shame that in this case "some people" are deciding where our money goes when they clearly don't have a clue.
More and more I get the impression that council elections are about choosing the least bad option, rather than the best. I can't remember anyone telling me about a positive experience with any tier of local government. It could (and should) be so different. Maybe the system needs to be changed to attract the right kind of people to office.
