The council is 100% independent so I guess they must be doing something right. This is my friend's 2nd term so she will not stand next time. She has already started the process of mentoring a potential successor, subject to voter approval of course. I saw today a story about Hadleigh in Suffolk where people are trying to do the same thing "Mr Allman said he thought Hadleigh Together was the first party of its kind in Suffolk. He said it based its model on Independents for Frome, which gained a majority on the Somerset town's council in 2011 and has held all of the council's seats since May 2015." Long may it continue local people concerned with local issues. You've got to take your hat off to people like this who put their local community above that of party affiliation. I can't help thinking that's a better way to get things done locally than spending time constantly mirroring the national party message.

In Ireland we get to pick candidates by number preference. Really only no's 1-3 have ever counted - as far as I'm aware. If I'm bored enough I number them all (there will be around 12-20) just to annoy the counters. If I put an X or a tick in the box my vote is spoiled. I used to have 5 TDs (MPs) for my constituency. There was talk of change. Our local elections coming up but our councils have less power than British ones. Dear Valera wanted more central power and that has suited various governments since. A lot of debate about elected mayors in places. I think only Dublin votes for theirs currently (if they even do). I usually support the best opposition but ours are weak currently. Sinn Fein could do well but they would not really be suitable for me - and there is a tendency to find dirt on them around election times (not that this is that hard). Plenty of skeletons in various places other than the closet. Red and Blue Army!

What a result for the Lib Dems. They have gained 600 seats. I thought they were dead, quite unjustifiably in my view. Westminster and the media totally wrong, once again it shows they have nothing in common with the country. The polls showing remain at 56% and now the voters for remain are showing where the country is truly at. They can spin and lie all they like but the next election is not so far off. If only the 2 party system could be buried once and for all. Who do they think they are?
