Roger, my post 252 is to be considered as it is written, within the stated context.
The economy is being run by a few politicians in Parliament, more precisely in the Cabinet.
These have not brought about any Localism, contrary to their manifested Government policy in May 2010, but have gone about drying out the treasuries of local Administration.
My guess is that the majority of the masses will not vote, because we have inept people making cynical and catastrophic decisions in the Cabinet, while local Government can't do anything about it.
It's a way of telling them we have no trust in them.
Had the Government respected their declared Localism policies, and allowed people to take part in Community decisions at District and County level, it could have been different. They failed us! They blocked everything, and they act as if they alone run the Country, regardless of their pre-election campaign promises.
