David Pavett wrote: " There are local councillors who don't have a clue what they are doing and who care even less. But there are others who work hard to represent their constituents and who are motivated by genuine concern and genuine principle."I agree entirely.But it is reasonable, I would venture, that a political party or local unit thereof might be judged by the leadership it selects.David will, I presume, have those in mind whom he believes fit into the former of those two categories. I would invite him then to take a look at those such individuals who are within his own party and see where they reside within the local party hierarchy.If he finds they are sitting at the top table, occupying seats which might more usefully have been distributed amongst some of those of genuine principle who do care, then I would suggest this might tell us a little about the priorities of his party, and our civic, leadership.
