DEMOCRACY

A local election is not a national election.

Hear hear!

It really annoys me when the media insist on linking the two events as if local elections were merely a mid term opinion poll on the performance of the national government. Local elections should be contested on local issues and it seems perfectly conceivable that a person could/should vote differently (ie for a different party) at each.
