    I would largely agree with a lot of the comments on here.However the role of the individual Councillor has been reduced to virtually a mere interested onlooker since the Councils adopted the so called “Cabinet” system.The said “Cabinets” are little more than an elective dictatorship.

    I think well overdue that we bring back the Committee system back to Councils.It would also bring back a little power and thus motivation to the individual Councillor.

    I agree, sadly there doesn’t seem to be a political party in wales that wants that rewind.

    Would public pressure suffice? It should for the public ARE the electorate and the Council MUST respond and do as the ELECTORATE demand. No question about that … if you don’t want what your electorate wants…. you get out… or you get out on the next election.

    GET RID OF THE ‘CABINET’ SYSTEM. Load of ‘toss***’ anyway.

    Party Political apathy has been growing for a number of years – the demise of the traditional Labor vote from the industrial heartlands has long gone- the decreasing power and activities of Unions has meant the usual communications route for political messages has now reduced.
    All of these factors and the disengagement at a local level are arriving at a society that does not know how to engage in either Party Politics or political activity.
    Gone are the days when people get motivated to turn out for a political demonstration or protest about services being cut. With the exception of Plas Madoc there has been no ‘mass protest’ in Wrexham for years– any that have taken place are very localised involving a few people only.

    I think you’ll find that’s called self-interest. Nobody fights for causes any more.

    Self interest is clearly a way society has moved with personal interest being way ahead of thinking about others. Personality politics
