Now, here’s a thing. I do not write about certain subjects on this blog, one of which is politics, certainly party politics. It’s just too sensitive and divisive. So, no. I won’t write about it.
Although there is a lot of party politics in local government, it’s slightly different because local government is something which is much closer to the people (OK, I know about taxes and the NHS and the like – not talking about them here).
I do feel that it is less remote, closer to home, at the town, or in the case of Gosport, the district council and at the county level. It’s where you can see with your own eyes jobs that needs to be done.
Who is going to do these jobs? The lot that is in, are they doing a good job? That’s what is important – are they doing the job well? How do we measure that?
