Plato said that if you don't engage in politics you end up being ruled by your inferiors — a sentiment that I'm sure many people share today. Whether it's the Labour Council or the LibDem government that you can't stand, why not stand up and do something about it by joining this campaign to get people to register to vote.
Perhaps if more people exercised their democratic rights politicians would be less complacent and maybe listen to what people really want.
I'm not saying this is the entire solution, but it's a start, so why not sign up and vote with your feet and help this grass-roots door-knocking campaign
For Labour in Haringey, it's the same people with the same party machine. Same Voter ID and all the other tricks and techniques. In one sense there is almost no real party politics - meaning proper local democracy and discussion. Its main task is as an election machine.
Look at the tweets and group selfie photos.
Haringey councillors pay a levy from their Council allowances (public money). Which goes into Labour Group Funds. From which significant sums are passed to Party funds and used for election campaigns. This pays for a lot of the printing and other expenses needed to run a campaign. So, for example Cllr Joanna Christophides is the Labour Party part-time Election Organiser. Her salary is paid from these Party funds.
No more fairy stories. Look behind the curtain.

1/ You didn't answer my question
2/ I do not support or condone the actions of ANY party machine
3/ I also look further afield than Haringey
Let's agree that we both believe having your say is important, but agree to disagree on how that is best achieved
Merci TBD!
If all elections were as close fought at the one in your village I'm sure we would have a much healthier system.
And revolutions don't have to be bloody. The No Dams protests saved what is now a world heritage site.
Lol, like the French, we believe in standing up for our beliefs
