Re the poster, "Meet the Candidates"
- Is this not misleading?
- This is not a normal Hustings
- Other election candidates are available!
More honestly, this would be:
Meet candidates only from the Party of the Ruling Group
.

Hey Clive, I don't think 'Meet the Candidates' is misleading if they're the candidates and there's an opportunity for you to meet them.
And you're right, from the poster, I take it you just get to meet them - and that it's not a hustings.
If the Greens or anyone else do these, and I come across it, I'll be sharing theirs too of course.
Thought it was honestly worded too - as I mention Labour in the title, and it's on the poster.

I'm still hoping to get some information about Green and fresh Labour candidates in my ward - Tottenham Hale. Because long ago I stopped voting for a Party ticket.
For example, I want to know if they can do more than echo slight variations of party slogans or repeat what a Dear Leader says. Are they thinking and feeling for themselves? If not, why give them a vote?Similarly if they're just rehashing their school play of The Emperor's New Clothes. Gissa job O Sir Keir!
And while we're talking performances, I have to confess that when I first saw Mel Brook's Fake Musical fragments in "Springtime for Hitler", in The Producers, I did find it funny.
But surely the new Mel producer must've had serious doubts that it would stand the test of time with the wider North London audience ?

Clive, they may not be the "Party of the ruling Group any longer. With a bit of luck they may be a Party having it's normal annual leadership elections. OR
A party very seriously learning from the outcome of the elections. Also learning with some humility from what residents told them when Party volunteers pressed thousands of residents' doorbells across the borough. And heard comments - negative and positive. Which will lead to the Party making significant changes.
OR
aA Party grappling at speed and with sensitivity with the task of forming a multiparty administration in the interests of residents as a whole and where new councillors are urgently taking on new tasks and responsibilities. Perhaps readjusting hopes and fears.

Hi Johnny
I'm a fan of truth and facts. Also of source documents - preferably checkable and downloadable online material. Could you please supply with dates and real names?
My own past experience is that searching minutes etc on the Council's website is often a reliable source of useful and accurate information. But I assume you base your own information on documents you've read. And can therefore give other residents reading this website, a rapid heads-up, so they can make their own judgrments.
You may also gather from my comments above that I expect to see many new councillors both Labour and other Parties. I welcome such changes and fresh approaches. But hope to see decisions based on hard facts rather than opinions and rumours.
