Council Election Promises
Council elections are happening this week and I went to vote.
Wow…there are so many candidates to choose from. Who’s, who and what makes these people think they can look after the interests of the local residents? What makes these people think they can make a difference?…most are just the ‘norm’ with no special qualifications.
I began to wonder then if I’d numbered the boxes correctly. Did my #1 vote go to the right person…their little pic looked nice
but could this person make changes that would impact me and my family?
I’d really not done my homework before voting. I didn’t know one candidate from the next. I quickly read over their ‘blurb’ and checked their pics out…noting the ones that I thought looked a little ’shifty’ or ‘honest’ then numbered the boxes accordingly.
Surely, I’m not the only one that votes in this manner. But, what happens when the ‘wrong’ person is elected? We’ll all be stuck with the decisions they make (for better or worse…just like marriage really, except you can get a divorce a lot easier than get rid of the council)
Guess I’ll just have to wait and see who gets elected and hope for the best…whatever the best is in this case. And, in future I think I’ll study the ‘form guide’ more closely!
