Strange post since your last post agrees that, in the main, you need party support to be elected.

As usual our local meglomaniac MP has only half a grasp of logical thought..There is no queue because of the reasons you outlined in your last post and I'd also suggest that most people aren't prepared to sacrifice independent thought and personal dignity just to become a councillor. (walkouts anyone?)
