Every election (local/regional/national) there seems to be the same chorus " Empathy is everybody's enemy" "People should vote for what they think!". Well certain (Famous Five/Labour) Torfaen councillors should be proud in their ability of killing any pride or respect that people had in them and confirming the worst beliefs that people have in all politicians.
How can they hold their heads high knowing they have SOLD OUT themselves and everybody who voted for them.
Vote Plaid or independent?? Why bother....? If you are sick and tired of Labour in the valleys, but I can already hear " its always been that way!!" I respond 'well look where it has got us', vote for a party that stands for something. Conservative or liberal at least you know they stand for something.
I have seen what councillors get and the cushy chairs and committees - what I haven't see is the return on that investment. How about being accountable, being selected and keeping roles based on competence and results? No lets base it on party and.......lottery, personal preference, direction of the wind??
I must opologise to all those councillors that work long and hard on the behalf of those who voted for for you - I just don't know who you are, as you have all been tarred by colleagues actions or lack of them.
