The government today has took over the running of Doncaster council after its new English Democrat Mayor has pathetically failed to serve its locals.
Is this a clear indication that the single agenda parties i.e BNP,English Democrats,UkIP are all just a bunch of loud mouth bragerdocious with no mandate to serve this great nation with decency and respect it deserves?!
I think a lot of Tory or Labour councils are not fit for purpose either.
There is a place for all political parties, unless such time comes when a party does not get a single vote. Only then will they no longer be viable.
Doncaster council are like many councils,not fit for purpose....but then I am not a lover of any council for reasons I have given many times.
Government have been stepping in to save failing schools as well for years...so nothing new really.
The title of the thread referred to minority parties being fit for purpose. I would say NO.
Re local government as a whole - well that really is another story and a very long one!
Plim :sad:
So what is being suggested here?
That the Govt step in, or take control completely, of everywhere?
If people moan about Central Govt interfering, why would you want them to have centrally controlled total mandate?

Most minority parties are fit for the purpose they're designed for,i.e. single issue politics.....as far as government or council leadership goes they are probably a bad choice as for the most part they haven't thought past the issue they were formed to address
I love this thread.
The Mayor of Doncaster has failed. He is an utter and complete prick, as well as a homophobe and borderline racist. He promised to fix Doncaster council, but he has utterly failed. He is also proof that single issue parties are a waste of space, and that protest voting is a waste of time - but then seveal elected mayors prove that, including the moron of Middlesbrough and H'ANgus the monkey in Hartlepool.
However, the Doncaster Donkey isn't the reason why Doncaster council is fucked, and if Kenty could do more than cut and paste non sequiturs he'd have deployed a more nuanced argument that referenced the role of previous independent mayors, the previous Labour Mayor who went independent, and the cultural legacy of Donnygate which meant there is, and has been for ten years, no credible leadership group in Doncaster. Civic society in Doncaster has been in terminal decline since the end of he miners strike, and what we're seeing now is its death throes. It may take a while to fix it.
What Kenty must hate though, is that these interventions do happen, and prove, by happening, how many councils don't need such interventions. That's the elephant in Kenty's room that he's desperate to ignore.
Kent do u think your van money might have been more wisely spent on the services of a proof reader?
insure doesnt mean making sure that word is ensure.

Kentswingers777: This is not the first time today that I have read some of your posts and felt that there may need to be some intervention, it just happens to be this thread that I've decided to comment on.
While everyone is entitled to their own opinion and has the ability to express it (within reason), with your posts I feel that you go beyond that and into the of a and by doing so your posts become (intended or likely to cause anger or hate).
This is considered to be a form of and harassment is against the sites AUP and T&C.
For a man who has previously commented that he feels as though there may be a permanent ban imminent, this seems like very a very fool-hardy way to conduct yourself and I would advise you to bear this in mind when constructing your posts in any area of the site from now on.
