Not totally as the issue of whipping to adhere to a particular dogma removes the scope for those who actually wish to serve their local communities to be of independent thought. Sadly the days of the altruistic individual who sought to better the lives of other seem to be largely a feint memory. The other key issue is that of cabinet-style local politics where decision making power is either vested in or assumed by a few individuals who, time and again, use the whip system, with the threat of withdrawal of generous allowance packages, to exercise their own narrow agenda. |
