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.
It's one of those odd things . . . I live in my little house by the sea and listen to the radio and reckon I know best about more-or-less everything . . . as I keep telling the news-casters, the policiticians and all the experts interviewed there. I shout quite loud - but I'm beginning to suspect they can't hear! Sometimes, I write to my MP . . . but there's always more to say. So, here it is!
