Reform councilors don't have a good track record of staying in the job when they find out they have to do something and are accountable.

Who do you protest/moan about if you're the one in charge?

Anyone is better than who left. He was the finance officer who oversaw the accumulation of £1.8 billion of debt due to crazy get rich schemes. He then decides he will retire from his role and is inline for a fat pension and golden handshake.

The biggest problem at Warrington council was that there was not enough non labour councillors to oppose the stupid investments they made that nearly all failed dramatically.

Basically they believed they had the famous labour magic money tree

Wait ...

The council is to pay £1,200 a day for the lead envoy and £1,100 for the other envoys.

(There are 3 others).

So £4500 a day, £1.64 Million per year, for 5 years ?
Seems as if they were better off just £1.8 million in the red.

Paul it’s billion not million. Jobs for the boys springs to mind.It is rumoured the debt has increased to £1.9 billion. Some body did a calculation and it means £15000 per man women and child in Warrington is in debt because let’s face it the council will not be paying it. The debt will be funded from increased council tax.

I see the turn out was 18%, and less than 10% of the electorate voted for Reform . If the electorate give up on voting that's the time to worry.

I don’t care what the turn out is as long as the idiots that created the debt are kicked out. I don’t even care which party they are as long as they are not labour.

Is that the best you’ve got? It’s a new party breaking new ground. It will find itself.

Concentrate on the policies and ask yourself why both Conservative and Labour voters are turning to Reform in their droves. That’s the real debate.

Not sure OB, do the maths. But if less than 1 in 5 of the electorate voted, and less than half of those voted for the winner, then democracy has lost.
