Quoted from richard.garvie


Let's face it, the "Big Soicety" is all about cutting Government support and saving money, and basically asking community groups to do it all themselves. I don't want to be part of it, I'd rather be part of the Good Society. There's only one sort of person who will be better off under any Tory Government, and I'm not rich enough to be in that group of people.


I was trying to point out the ridiculousness of the Big Society, Con/Lib government say all get involved, do you what you can, take responsibility blah, blah.  But you have the same parties councils saying you cant do it.  What it comes down to is when we now complain about schools etc., we will be told it is our fault as the responsibility now rest with us.  This is also why a coalition government will not work.  Come the next election each party will be blaming the other and absolving themselves of responsibility.

This is why it is highly important that we provide a third option to the electorate. If anybody wants to fight these issues on a local basis, send me a pm and I will support you in your efforts to become an elected member.
