Since Central Government will not allow Councils to have any increased say in how administration is carried out locally (Localism Bill ha ha ha
), and will not allow local budgets to increase, but on the contrary is intent on reducing them by about 40% over a 4 year period starting as of 2010, these County elections shall be boycotted by me.
To take part in them and vote, would be surrendering to Osborne and his Austerity, and giving him a vote of confidence.
Pah!
