Exactly the system isn't fit for purpose. You finally get my point. It would be the same if the above figures related to Labour, Lib Dems, Ukip or Greens too. I oppose the Tories, but I'd accept whichever party won a fairer PR election.
The system is not representative of the will of the nation, it is skewed. @Burnside Why didn't you answer Viaduct's question? You really think the majority of people in the UK trust the Tories? Laughable. Read this: http://theconversation.com/voting-system-gives-tories-a-result-most-uk-voters-didnt-want-41595 The Tories represent 36.9% of those who voted. ...
The majority of the voting public did not vote for a Tory government. Anyone with a basic comprehension of the 1st past the post electoral system understands that. The 2015 breakdown of votes tells you how popular the Tories really are if all votes were tallied nationally and not along constituency lines. The majority of the voting public do not trust the Tories..
No idea, a pick from what? I've just asked questions. Someone leaked councillors emails didn't they? Nobody knows who. Nobody really knows what anyone is referring to when 'falsehoods' are mentioned. It is natural that questions are asked, or aren't the plebs privy to the machinations of government? As a councillor will you look into the email leaks? How did @Likeablerat come into ...
I'm just seeking transparency regarding the 'falsehoods'. That is the thread concerned then. You're on the defensive why? Which falsehoods levelled against you?
@Gary Taylor , why evade my question about councillors emails being leaked? Is this not a serious matter? Should we turn a blind eye? Have DTC and TDC done anything about this? What if sensitive and private information becomes leaked in the future? Shouldn't the authorities be contacted?
What issues and what results has Cllr Wrigley achieved? I'd like facts and examples. Are you therefore claiming that the 'falsehoods', that prevents a Devon County Councillor attending Dawlish Town Council meetings, are in fact in print on this very website? If you are so certain then please divulge the evidence. Share the link. Is there a document in the public domain or ...
@Gary Taylor that post on 1th april at 12:17 is about school funding and bus schedules. like viaduct's post above about parking they are legitimate concerns. What evidence? What has been reported? Please could you provide the link if it is on Dawlish.com. I have an idea what you mean... I could be wrong. Are you stating that Cllr Clatworthy refuses to to attend DTC meetings because ...
@Gary Taylor well surely if Cllr Clatworthy is a good sport as you wrote, then why wouldn't he take the outcome of the election with good grace? You need to clarify which senior Conservative council members have lacked grace on Cllr Clatworthy's behalf. How on earth can you lack grace on behalf of another person? Shouldn't we take responsibility for our own actions @Gary Taylor ? ...
Government needs to regulate industry and take citizen's health seriously, irrespective of which party is in power. Isn't that the real issue?
