Getting things done

It used to be that if you wanted something done, you got on Council .I'm not so sure it still applies .
Carol Wilmink has confirmed that the reason she's on Council, and the reason half the country wants her there, is to stop something environmentally unsound- The building of houses on the Barham river floodplain .
But 3 sacked councillors couldn't stop that happening, so why should she be able to -We don't even know what the other 2 new councillors think. Whatever you think about the new councillors who weren't elected, they represent the will of the people even LESS than the ones now out of office .And wait until they fill her mind up with the overflowing obligations of mere statute .
Surely we will watch them all fall under the heavy hand of mere statute - statute that causes them to all throw common sense out the window.

It used to be that if you wanted something done, you got into Parliament. Terry Mulder tells me today he feels powerless to get a reasonable study of the lake done -
Tell me its really our country any more?
