I Dont Think People Should Vote For Politicians Who Are Idiots

I went to a lecture this evening that my local Green Party was organising and it was really interesting and actually more people than I expected were there. There were some local councillors too, two of which were conservatives who’ve apparently been on the city council for a very long time
So I was listening closely to what they said in the discussion after cuz like, they’re elected councillors, they must have some idea what they’re talking about. But they seemed more like they were irritated about not enough people engaging with council actions and things than the actual topics and then one of them made a point that ‘if people really cared about climate change, they should get off their backsides and do something about it’. 🤔you were literally elected to do something about it you twit🤔

ugh it just irritates me. If all councillors are like the councillors that turned up there then I understand why nothing ever seems to get done 🙄

What is a local councilor supposed to do about climate change?

@Hasmita OK...but that is not a Climate Change issue per se. That is an environmentally friendly move.

@HoraceGreenley a lot more than your average person, at least they have power to change some things. They can increase things like cycle lanes to help reduce traffic. They can stop giving planning permission to people building fucking incinerators 😣
Yeah they can’t solve anything on a massive scale alone but there is loads they could do to make the area do its bit and if every area did that it would make more of an impact

@TheQueenBree I agree with that. I would frame the complaint in terms of environmentally friendly actions that server the community.
