Time for government to be accountable to the people

Its about time government became more accountable to the people, so often government has made decisions with out consulting the local population with some often tragic consequences. Government ministers getaway with so much now a days and we the British public seem to do nothing to stop it or have had any method of doing anything about it removed.

Take a simple issue such as only emptying our bins once every 2 weeks. Who in their right mind thought that, that was going to reduce the amount of rubbish? All they've gone and done is delay the amount of time it will take for the rubbish to get to the tip, its almost like saying well if we don't collect the rubbish the problem will go away. Its still there! What you will probably find happening is more illegal dumping will take place than ever before, their will be an increase in the rodent population and eventually disease. In countries such as Spain they collect the rubbish more than once a week to stop such a problem taking place, as our climate gets warmer we will start to suffer the same problems with stinking bins outside our homes. No matter how much you recycle you are still going to get dreadful smells from rubbish left more than a week, its a fact of life.

Join the localist revolution started by Daniel Hannan of the Daily Mail, start making local councils responsible to the people again, they are here to serve us not the other way around.
