[Lucy Lass-Tick]

This is looking rather interesting. And distinctly crowded in places.

For anyone in the fens/rossmere area, I know Peter Joyce personally, and I know he's a genuine, stand-up kind of guy.

He most definitely defends the interests of the local community, and has done for years, and he is absolutely against the ruling mob we are currently enduring.

I don't want to sound like I'm canvassing on his behalf, however I believe the fella to be well worthy of my vote, and I wished to share that sentiment.

I have to admit that having met Peter Joyce numerous time at various council meetings he is certainly aware of the problems the town faces and is committed to changing things, from my conversations with him I get the impression that he believes being a good councillor starts at ward level.......Fens and Rossmere could do a lot worse than give him a shot......

[Topcat]

To be honest I'm a bit suspicious of the number of candidates standing in Foggy Furze ward ,seven seems to be a lot more than usual ,one might be tempted to think that there might be a bit of "gamesmanship" at work here. After all a diluted vote would give a sitting councillor a better chance of gaining a majority.

[DRiddle]

Agree with Topcat. There are at least 2 names on the ballot paper for Foggy Furze with connections to a third on there.

[DRiddle]

In fact, the ballot paper has some distinct similarities to the OFCA board.

The sad thing is, I expect KC to walk it because most people are totally oblivious to what's been going on.

[Topcat]

Sadly I have to agree with Mr Riddle the labour vote is too entrenched in some people's minds to be able to shift it for at least another generation.

Foggy Furze Ward has indeed a rash of independents, but who is the real independent?
As for Cranney getting in again, he probably will, because if you aren't on social media you rely on local news outlets, which will bombard you with pictures of the politburo and their beaming faces as they announce yet another good news initiative. The image is massaged and the future is bright, if you have no other viewpoint to inform you.

The 'Real Indepent' could have 'I Am Not A Relative Of Kevin Cranney' as header on his election leaflet.....

Then underneath that..... Joe Bloggs, Billy Baconeck, ***** *********** are.

You've given me an idea of how to spot the 'not so independents' now.
Just check the spelling of the word 'independent' as I'm sure the use of a five syllable word they'd have trouble pronouncing never mind spelling will reveal them as members of 'Culture Club'.

CABs tactic is clear. He knows Mammy Belcher and the Inebriate are not going to win. He  justhopes the two stooges will bleed enough Labour votes to make sure the 'New' New Labour lot do not win and a real independent gets the seat. That way there won't be enough votes to replace him as 'leader' and he will keep control the purse-strings. He is not in the least bit concerned that Labour will loses  seats and his overriding aim is to keep his income stream. Once the Corbynites take over he knows its back to flipping burgers for him and his turnip of a partner.

Labour don't have to lose many before they lose overall control and by default the leadership.

Oops, does that mean I have to stand as an independent?

Better to be the leader of the largest gang than a minnow in the Ruling group. The Tory Councillor votes are bought and paid for.
