  Hi Jan
  Bit worrying this we are agreeing again lol
  
  I ran my small campaign on wanting to take political parties out of Town councils,
  certainly we have seen in our community how remote some councillors become
  
  I think no matter what side you were on, the referendum showed how people power can change even the big political parties and shake them up
  
  Getting briefly back on to the by election, in this area people turned away from labour as they had stopped listening, this will happen more and more.
  
  With voter turn out poor, political parties need to start listening
  
  For me I find it a good thing that political parties can no longer in many wards rely on voters
  no more safe seats
  In st radigunds in a by election we saw labours safest seat fall to an indy
  thus showing people are no longer just voting for a party no matter what.
  
  It's a wakeup call for local political parties
  
  Ignore it, and we could see even mores shock results
