Lib Dems top the poll!

Well in Amazon book charts they do.  A book called 'Why vote Lib Dem' has been produced and appears to be getting a lot of interest.  It is ranked 967th in Amazon's book charts, unusually high for a book of this type.

Similar books are available for the Conservatives (ranked 46,329th) and Labour (ranked 18,080th).

Basing View Progress

It is rare that the main political parties agree on a topic,  Basing View is one of those topics.  Of course the Lib Dems want renewable energy, grey water recycling and rainwater capture, green roofing etc should all be part of our plans.  The Tories are more interested in the short term cash.  However we do agree that Basing View needs improvement.

Why I can't Support 'Chip and Bin'

The national press have run stories over the past week after it was announced 2.6 million bins had been chipped. Whether you're concerned about the every growing powers of the 'big brother' state (as I am) or you're in the 'being monitored is only an issue if you're up to no good' is always worth a debate, I have put a 'poll' on the left hand side of this blog. My biggest issue is practical.

Full Council 1/03/10

Single topic for this meeting was Mayor for next year.  The issue I covered in detail here was whether there was good reason to break with the tradition - the longest serving is the most deserving.

There was not an argument strong enough, so I voted for Phil Heath to become Mayor.  A move blocked by the Tories he worked so hard for and with for many years.

You simply can't trust the Tories!
