Proceeding contribution from Andrew Pelling (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 February 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government Finance.
Local Government Finance
Does it not have a tremendously debilitating effect on both the quality of candidates and on voting, if people do not feel that councillors have real influence in the community or can make a difference? Is it not in many ways a reflection of the pretty poor state of British politics? Does it not in reality underline how the Executive continue to absorb powers whether from Parliament or by abstraction from local discretion?
