Rural, I disagree with you...Now that's a good idea! Rural, I disagree with your statement about keeping politics out of the local arena. Politics IS and cannot be kept out of a stamp collectors club, let alone re-distribution of resources. If you meant Party politics, I can tell you as an avid follower of municipal politics, political party's would be very useful in helping to define local politicians, and keep them accountable. There are some very damned unsavoury people holding office at local levels, who campaign on good looks, and apple pie, and then rape the public at the behest of their backers. Party politics would put their sinecures at risk if they had to be held accountable to a Perty that actually paid attention to their voting record, which, unfortunately, the electorate cannot be bothered to do.<br />If the Green Party were to endorse such an association, then we would be a decade away from majority Green Gvt. Federally, and/or Provincially.bluegreenbloggerhttp://greencanada.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913881220677987797.post-41607414019876477412009-02-23T14:19:00.000-05:002009-02-23T14:19:00.000-05:00Hey Rural, you and I do think alike: I love Richa...Hey Rural, you and I do think alike: I love Richard's idea too and have offered to help out if I can (although I have no experience in politics myself).
