Local elections: 'I got my first death threat before I was elected'
tl;dr it's all down to Internet trolls, we need to heavily regulate the Interwebs
Of course, no mention of the possibility of councillors being accessible proxies for people's grievances against national party politics. No examination as to why in general people are more pissed-off with governments, both local and national. In short, a multi-factor problem but why bother with details when there's an agenda to push? The usual "see this problem [of our own making] give us more power and it goes away" ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I could be a local councillor if I wanted (I don't), we didn't even have an election last time because not enough people stood.
So there's obviously something sadly wrong with the job itself and I don't think it's internet trolls. Maybe we need to pay them more so the job attracts professional people instead of drum-bangers, hand-wringers, nest-liners and people with fine arts degrees? ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.
