Cllr. Gavin Ayling

The following site gives a forum for the discussion of any local elections taking place in May this year.

Thanks to Dizzy for this link.

Rustington West had a by-election yesterday and the votes came in as follows:

The reason for posting this is the results for UKIP. People don’t, I am sure, prefer UKIP in any sense except that they have a more reasonable position on the EU. When will my party start listening?

If you were in government and had some spare money in the public’s finances there would be four choices open to you:

- Cut the ridiculously high taxes
- Increase spending (bad idea — the government’s NHS debacle has shown it doesn’t work)
- Keep it for a rainy day
- Rearrange toilets in prison to suit a particular religious requirement

I know I’d choose the first one. I know that most sensible people in the world would agree that one of the first three is right. So why is our stupid government doing the last?
