If only there were already candidates to vote for who stands against the development-for-the-hell(and profit)-of-it. Your previous post asked 'where is Keith Simpson?' - I want to know, 'Where on erath are the Green Party?'<br /><br />The answer, as far as I can gather, is up their own asses faffing about trying to get a Green MP for Norwich South at some point in the future, which is draining all their energy away from genuione local green issues.<br /><br />You are also right about the inherent imbalance in the 'cabinet' system. Brick-heads like Proctor & Woodbridge end up with disproportionate power over decisions that affect parts of Norfolk a long way from where they and their constituents live. It is time for change, but who can we hope to deliver it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
