Labour Politicians

[islaydarkblue]

Was laughing the other day about AHH the MPs saying they will have to scrutinise euthanasia bill.

I doubt more than half a dozen will scrutinise anything.....in fact a free vote is a pain in the ass to them and much more comfortable being told how to vote.

My limited involvement with local politicians, I have found them to be thick, disinterested or just blub out party line.....I doubt any of them could scrutinise anything.

That is the problem with local authority councillors.
They vote on party lines.
In my opinion all local authority councillors should be independents.
Then they would have to vote in favour of what was best for their constituents and not being told by the leader of their group how to vote.
I was told by an Argyll and Bute opposition councillor that the ruling group of Argyll and Bute councillors were nodding like donkeys when their Councillor Robin Currie defended the decision to increase the Council Tax in Argyll and Bute by 10% for the 2024-25 Council Tax Year.
I also know that it was the Chief Executive of Argyll and Bute Council who pushed for this 10% increase in the council tax as I have an email from Councillor Robin Currie which I received in January 2024 where he stated that he was ‘up to the eyeballs’ going through the budgets to produce a balanced budget.
Councillor Robin Currie did not have the brains to prepare these budgets to produce a 10% increase in the Argyll and Bute council tax for the 2024-25 financial year. They were produced by the Chief Executive and top council officials.
