Anesthetized Democracy at local Government is OK.?
We do have Parliamentary Democracy at Government Level . At local leval we should have more of an egalitarian Democracy.Citizens living in local communities should have the power and the voice to raise issues and be heard on all issues that confront the individual before action is considered.We do not have that.Freedom belongs to Groups that peddle their self Interest. Benifits are decided on a priority basis in the UK.so if some one from abroad is registered in, they are promptly prioritised over the person or persons who had made application for help with say just two or three children. Guess who jumps the queue? IF this process is repeated it is easy to work out the frustation of the waiting family.Can they raise a voice ?.The Southall area committees have been abandoned, for wards . Many a time I have arrived to find No local Councillor turns up at ward meetings. I am told that two councillors are not even known by anybody. Does anybody Care? This cannot go on for long. Something must give. All over West london particularly Ealing's Borders remain Testimony to neglect.Granted; our resources are scarce, but who are we to share it with.? The Super rich Un-Touchables have the power to own more of everything we once ownned .The NEEDY in our midst are falling prey to the GREEDY.....and we may say nothing about it ? I am sad to find so much stress among our once happy neighbours. Can we dare to hope that People will see the necessity for Change .?
