  The elephant in the room that more than anything discourages most people of working age, especially those who are young, is the lack of any payment for being a councillor.
  
  If we want to try to change the quality of people who represent us then we need to find a way to attract the brightest and best and this is only possible if we offer them a decent level of remuneration for their time. Otherwise it will continue to ne the same sorts of people who offer themselves for election (retirees, people who run their own businesses, people who can get paid time of work) and the rest of us will go get real jobs that pay our bills etc.
