[glasfryn]

To be ousted from power tomorrow! Oh forgot to mention only the majority of Brighton & Hove residents will understand!

that went well then
don't back any horses today

Well deserve Caroline. Like UKIP loads of votes and only 1 MP

Increased her vote by 10.5%. Safe seat for the greens now. It would seem the majority of Brighton residents didn't understand!

Of course they are likely to lose control of the council. It will be interesting to see all those cycle lanes torn up, the bins get collected regularly, recycling rates improve, the seafront be maintained properly, parking fees reduced, the rolling back of parking permits, the i360 being cancelled etc etc. Seeing as all this stuff was the greens fault...

This thread had zero to do with that woman, and all to do with B&HCC which come this aft I sincerely hope will have a lot less melons involved in the decision making Stuart.

don't think it will be any better who ever gets in

If you think that a change of councillors is going to significantly change what happens, I think you are going to be sadly disappointed. Electing a large number of inexperienced councillors is not a good idea regardless of political persuasion.

But, out of interest, which councillors have particularly impressed you on which issues ?

Actually, it can make a difference. I've engaged my local councillors on a number of issues and got them all resolved. The difference in attitudes between different councillors is quite stark as well .... some will fall over themselves to communicate with you while others just ignore you. My interaction with councillors has certainly influenced my vote this time around.

Unfortunately we all know that won't happen, the damage has been done, the cost of repairing the damage will be too great for the new council. from that perspective the Greens work has been done.

I do hope the Greens retain enough seats to remain in control, it will be so much fun on here tonight ! The Bile levels will go off the scale, can't wait.

They've been fantastic for the city . I hope they hang on again so I can once more enjoy their progressive stance when I return at the end of the year. What a truly triumphant few years they've had. They'll likely never leave power anytime soon. And quite right.

There was an incident at Public Questions when a 12 year old lad who has been campaigning for an ice rink, and had previously written to the Queen, asked the Cabinet member for Culture, Recreation & Tourism at a full council Public Questions: "When are we finally going to get one? If not why not? As I have to update the Queen on my progress."

Geoffrey Bowdens started: "This Queen will answer that"

He ended by saying: "Thank you very much for coming to the council, I hope you can get back to her Majesty and report on something even if it is to tell her that an ice rink won’t be coming to the city anytime soon."

That was the young lads introduction to politics. Patronising, condescending and sarcastic.

His full response is here https://www.facebook.com/kaicerink/posts/915158798527356

His response was totally inappropriate and far from a progressive stance. Now whilst I don't have a problem with the Greens in principle, this member is a complete disrespectful idiot. Anyone who believes that this city should have an ice rink will be slapped down by him with a smug glee.

Beatrice Bass for starters with her plans on resolving the disgusting state of our inner city streets.

It won't happen because the Labour and Conservative councillors also agreed to some or all of these schemes. It won't happen because most of things have been council policy in Brighton for the last twenty years. The seafront promenade did not go from pristine condition to a ruin in four years because of the greens either. The fact is Brighton council has been under no overall control for 12 years, yet people like you can only blame the greens for all Brighton's ills.

Those damned Ice rinks cause untold damage to the earths atmosphere you know .... totally disregarding the gridlock they have caused all over the city with their vanity schemes

 

[Buzzer]

This. By far the best council in living memory... the proof is in the pudding, the rate of regeneration of this city since they have been in charge has been unprecedented.

Then of course there is a phenomenal MP in Caroline Lucas.

You can see their support all over the city - there is absolutely no way that Greens will be voted out, thankfully.

Genuine question - has Mustafa EVER made a correct prediction when it comes to politics? I think he has a 100% record in picking the losing team.

Two fantastic days in Politics for me, at last no more shambolic green lead council huzzah
