Can we just appoint whoever the TV candidate is and save ourselves the expense of holding a by-election? Does anyone honestly believe that a semi-moderate candidate has a chance in hell of getting elected in the CoV?
No difference this term, but I have this insane pipe dream that someone with just a whiff of moderation, fiscal responsibilty and knowledge of local government will get in, and will actually start calling out some of the others on some of their more lunatic ideas. Which might then inspire 1 or 2 other councillors to speak up a little, and maybe rein in the crazy a little.
