In the Farley Ward of Luton they had voted in Councillor Robin Harris.
He has resigned, forcing a local bye-election for the seat.
I have been asked to stand in the forthcoming election.
There is not a great hope of victory, it is a very underprivileged area and Labour are a shoo-in to win it.
However, I have been told that if I stand they will offer me Limbury Ward in the 2015 Full Council Elections.
Limbury is, shall we say, a more likely chance for success.
It would only take three hundred votes to swing it.
I could be good for a councillorship in May 2015!
I have to face the selection committee, but I am on the shortlist.
It is a very short shortlist.
It has one name on it

On the contrary - in a public office he will have time for 2 or 3 times a day...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Good luck, but like Chief Accountant, being a local councillor is a thankless task.

Then he is used to toiling at irrelevant tasks.

At full strength Luton Borough Council has 48 members representing 19 wards, and there are currently 35 Labour, eight Liberal Democrat and four Conservative councillors.
Your gonna have bugger all say even if you do get it. Though I suspect you are doing it more for a ego boost than anything else?

Sorry I'm naive, but what advantages are there to getting on here?

You would even admit that in public? Have you no shame?
Just another councilor with a private agenda.

I'm not sure it still counts as private at this point.

My private agenda is to rid the world of the cancer of socialism.
It kills a lot of people and enslaves the survivors in a regime of fear and inequality.
