It frustrates me greatly to see our nation simply being 'used' by people who have no civic pride but appear to be' in it' just as a way to meet their own personal political aims, or to create a 'legacy' or even just for the prestige of being a MP and member of the cabinet. The good of the country seems to come a long way down their list of priorities. Consequently I try to keep up with what they're up to - and I consider a lot of the things that have happened over recent years to be a disgrace...

Rev Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Not me. No elections in my area though. Although if I get one more text message or email asking me to go out campaigning in Amber Valley, I may join UKIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I voted, thats twice now in 36 18 years I'm on a roll.

I’m going to assume that the 36 years does not refer to the period that you could legally have voted as that would make you my age. and I’d be gutted as you’d have clearly aged far less than me? and if @Boycie comes on and says “he’s 54 watch him deny it”, I think I’ll have to call the police.......

alexxxxx Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Looks like labour are going to be disappointed with these results. No national swing towards them and some losses (Derby included). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Banwait has gone and his cronies don't have the overall majority that allowed them to do as they pleased, that's got to be a good thing for the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Any indication of who is going to run the council now? Or will it be run by committee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The media are suggesting it may be next week before there's an agreement - no overall majority so there needs to be a deal between the parties.... Worrying thing in the immediate future is that Rawson is now council leader - a man I suspect needs help to tie his shoelaces - let's hope he doesn't do anything too disastrous while he has control ?

Derby City Council and Derbyshire County Council has never been run since the 70's. Its a political football that is just used by whatever party is in charge. Nothing will change, assembly rooms, Duckworth square etc will carry on rotting and the public sector workers will be used and abused and the unwashed will be fed lies.

Derbyshire County Council was highly rated as a well run authority doing well in efficiency tables in the 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
