For quite a while now I have doubted the need for party politics in local government .
I am pleased we have 4 Independents , and I hope they remain independent and increase in number .
It's true about the mirror image , which is a result of the party political system .
In its turn the mirror image is a mirror image of Westminster . Both Labour and Conservative Prime Ministers are more and more presidential.
I miss the likes of George Brown , Enoch Powell , Aneurin Bevan , and Michael Heseltine . I might not have agreed with them , but they stood out as their own men , and brought colour to politics .
