To be fair Keith by abstaining you also get what you deserve.

I'm coming round to the view that we might have a "no overall control" council this coming Friday. I think many rural places will stay Tory but Independents and Greens will make large gains in the towns and with a few Labour winners to complicate things anything can happen.

DTC will be interesting
With lab only standing in 10 of the 18 seats
Needing to win in 9
But that said deals have been done by a very divided Dover Labour individuals against there own party with other parties
So let's see wat comes out of the mix

The tit for tat commenting between Keith and Brian is now boring and even rather childish.
Maybe this explains why most political figures are viewed by some of us as not worthy of our vote.

Jan
I can only say on the old Priory ward. It was locals who encouraged me to stand against labour in what should be a labour seat.
It was locals who voted against Labour and voted for me as a community rep
It was locals who continued to support me throughout the 2 years I served
It was locals who encouraged me to stand again and I probably would have won again
But it was my choice to spend more time with family and on my community work
So I hope this answers recent posts
The big problem on here is. I am one of a very few cllrs who contribute
With the majority of cllrs you don't see them for 4 years
Also don't hear from them
Don't hold surgeries
Not involved in local areas
Thus why people think all candidates are same and I understand that
In my area I was lucky enough as I say to have the people behind me

To be completely honest Keith as I am not in your ward I have no interest in why or who elected you in the past, where you are concerned I am only interested in what you post on this group.

"on the old Priory ward. It was locals who encouraged me to stand against labour in what should be a labour seat".
And there's the problem right there. As Jan has said before, we could do with taking political parties out of local representation and perceptions. They're at best a turn-off and at worst a liability.
Personally I think we should deny them all the oxygen of publicity until such time as they sort out their performance in Westminster.

Jan/button
There lies the problem really.
In a no win situation people on here moan when cllrs don't contribute
Then moan when they do
As I said I stood on a ticket of
Taking. Party politics out of town councils
And working with who has best ideas of the 3 parties
And Locals were my guiding light as they elected me

As I understand it, only locals are eligible to vote: as it's a local election for local people, it would be very surprising indeed if a local candidate were to be elected by unlocal people.
But, moving on from that tautological impasse, given that only one of the candidates in my area has even bothered to seek to claim my vote (and she's a local party woman who failed to get DDC to sort out the parking), and given that I don't know the others from Adam (and I don't know him very well either), and given that to me 'independent' means nothing unless I know what a candidate is independent from, then I'm left with no choice but to say 'b@ll@cks'. I'm ballooned if I'm going to be responsible for electing some half-wit to local office (there are enough of those at national level).
