| Ealing is known as political bellweather in terms of indicating change in the country as a whole at election time, or so the pundits have said. However, I fear that we really see in Ealing is election of two equally bad (from a professional perspective) dominant political groups: Ealing Labour Group, and the Ealing Conservatives. Neither delivers what they promise the electorate and so whoever is in power in the Council gets booted out as a protest vote. The next lot in fail to deliver and so they get booted out, etc., etc. It has nothing to do with policies it is just a reflectioni that they are equally awful. The Conservatives groom rats on the allotments while the Labour Group groom their trade union buddies who work for the council. No one actually consistently improves and polices baseline services properly or does any cost/benefit analysis of the services Ealing provides. What should we do? |
