what it takes to be a labour councillor

[Inspector Knacker]

To paraphrase a quote,

A compliant Councillor is a happy Councillor.
You're not elected to think.
Know your place and toe the arty line.

In response to the topic title,  Not a lot!

Well, if a certain facebook page is anything to go by.... the ability to vilify, abuse and denigrate people..... ohhhh and to be able to freely use the expletive C U Next Tuesday..... in fact there are several people with those qualities and who used that facebook page that have become elected members of the HCLP

Political Billy no mates. A stunning blend of shouty anoraks and attention seeking.
