  I think to a point Jan's correct
  There's also some seats that remain in a parties hands even though that cllr does little in the ward..
  
  On the national arena leaders do come and go but its important for democracy to have a good opposition holding the govt to account
  
  Under the present system only 1 of 2 parties will ever be the govt and so the present
  Opposition if it moves away from the left will lose membership
  And as seen in the Blair years not replace them with foot soldiers
  
  Although its good to have a radical agenda it needs to also have public support which I think will take many years to achieve
  
  In the local arena cllrs need to engage with communities all the year round
