Goodness no, councils should be independent and diversity be noticeable across the land."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Calling it Tory or Labour is a big reason why it is impossible to tell the difference between being callous, incompetent or corrupt in LAs.
If you vote for local government based on your view of what national government is up to then you will get people whose only qualification for running them is the luck of not being the party whose policy on war, immigration or interest rates has upset you.
Birmingham City council has officially admitted that it cannot even try to keep children it its care, years after the Baby P case. Is that Labour, LD or Labour ?
No, I don't know either.
Why are they still in power ?
I do know that.
Brummies have views on quantitative easing, gay marriage etc and voted on that.
So they get tulip local government.
A less horrible point, councils of all parties pursue vanity pseudo green policies like fortnightly bin emptying and turning off street lights (though of course not where they live).
These are horribly unpopular policies, yet go through on the nod because they know that literally no policy of corruption is so heinous that it affects their chances of election. As far as they are concerned it is random.
Whose fault is this ?
Yours.
Local government is as democratic as you want it, if people voted by the quality of the service they got, they'd get better services.
