The post you are reporting:
I can not see that at this time Howard but I will find out.
But I do not think he would have to be a policeman, in Dover Roger might fit the bill, or Mr Cooper. Mr Perkins, I could of alot who could do it and none of them policemen, and Roger you would get paid aswell.
I will writemore of it later,it goes on about local referendums, just again to outline how it would work. Lets imagine a situation where a council wanted to demolish its existing town hall and buid a brand new one. The town hall is in the centre of the town and it,s a listed building but the council wants to knock it down ,sell the land for flats and build a new town hall out of town. This isn,t a hypothetical situation.
It,s happening in Tunbridge Wells in West Kent.
In the real world, very little can be done to stop this from happening.The councilis entirely conservative-controlled and is out of touch with the voters.
In our world of direct democracy ,people living in the area could obtain signatures demanding a referendum on this very subject.
Thet would need around 5,000 signatures-5%of the electorate within the constituency-which would force the council to hold a binding referendum on whether they could go ahead and knock the town hall down or not and go out of town.
This is just great to me,and why I joined up with UKIP.Howard if that had been in place in Dover at the time all the flats went up in Folkestone rd it would have never happen.
