"Much scolding media carry‑on about the mediocre turn‑out in the local body elections. Are people simply not interested?
"Actually, I think they are and attribute the low vote singularly to dismay at the candidates on offer. I hesitate to criticise them but the hard fact is that local government has always been a vehicle for the nondescript, in many cases seeking an income they’re otherwise incapable of earning, plus a degree of 'fame.' That said they pay a hell of a price in tedium."
