The post you are reporting:
Right,I can see by most of your posts on this one, that you do Not know what I am trying to do,some of you are hell bend to bring me down ,you dislike me,which is fine by me I do not care ,but just sit there and say to yourself why would any person at the age of 69 keep on doing what he is doing when elections time comes round.
You keep on he does it just to see his name in the press etc,etc. and so on.
Well you are all very wrong in thinking that.
This is why I do it,I have been saying for years now about poor turnouts at the polls ,and that is all polls ,for a Government,or just the locals
When we talk about the Local Elections and they are with us very soon,again we will see a very poor turnout,and that is even worse when it comes down to voting in the Parish,s in alot of parishs we will see that the turnout is so bad that they can not even get the numbers of candidates they need to even call a election let alone vote.
And this is very bad because what you are seeing in the parishs is the same members of the public running them year in and year out and they can do and run the parish how they like.
That does not mean they doing a bad job of it but without new faces and young ones, there is no icentive there to make new change in how to run a parish.
Did you know we have parishs cllr that have never had to go out and cavass for their seat on the council never,I have even had them come up to me and say " Vic if I had to cavass to get on the council I would not do it",some just sit there at meetings and agree all the time with the chairman.
This can not be right .
So I got thinking how can I get out there and try and I say that again TRY to turn this around, and I came up with what I might do,I say might ,because as some of you know I am waiting to back into Hospital,if that happens then I can not go ahead with my plan.
But what will happen if I go ahead with it? well in some cases it will force a parish into holding a election, and that is what happen last time at River,and you can take it from me that if it had not been so close to the May Elections we would have seen two or more candidates standing just to stop me,that would not have been good for me but good for River (1) We would have seen new Faces on the council. (2) The public would have turned out to vote to keep me off the council.
But I will say just one thing about myself when I do sit on a council I do work and I will not just sit there,if I have some thing to say i will say it.
Thereis alot more I am going to say yet,but I have been up most of the night so I am going to sigh off for now.
But I hope now you can just see what I am trying to do, if you can not see it, well I did try.
