Oh dear. Br*ghton Council is riven by bickering and divides in the ruling Green administration. Refuse workers going on strike. Huge council tax rises. [Link] How can they be trusted to run anything?

Well until they start raping and murdering children and going to great lengths to cover it up for decades, I think they can still be considered somewhat trustworthy.

I was expecting is kind of response. So, you don't want to debate the issue, just throw this kind of stuff at it to bury the issue. The fact is, the Greens record at running Brghton Council has been pisspoor. How can they convince people, and what evidence is there, that they can run political office successfully?

Percy of Peckham Eton Mess 06 Dec 14 9.16am
The people of Brighton voted Green and that is what they have got. Are you perhaps saying that the electorate didn't really understand policies of the Green Party? Unfortunately, green initiatives are costly to implement and on top of all our other current fiscal issues, now is probably not the time to go overboard with them. I have some sympathy for the Party who are trying to honour their manifesto but personally, at this time I would regard some of their initiatives as inappropriate luxuries. Denial is not just a river in Egypt!

Question should probably be whether it's the ideology here that has caused the problem, or just the fact that middle class hippies aren't the most efficient administrators of a council. I'd say given that their recycling rates are so guff, it's probably the latter. "The fox has his den. The bee has his hive.

I like the Greens though.
