Dawn - Just for once why don't you try and understand the way local government operates instead of making off the wall comments? For instance you cannot bar people from abstaining on a vote - we do live in a democracy, also having the whole council deciding on an issue that affects one area of the borough would probably only lead to councillors then voting on party lines unless it was agreed to have a free vote. A lot of councillors from other parts would not necessarily have the detailed understanding of the issues to make an informed decision, and to be brutal, a lot might not care if it didn't affect their patch. The whole point of committees is to delegate the work to a smaller number of people who do have an interest in the work of that particular committee's remit. |
