Bananas Democracy - Harrow Style


Harrow voters, locked out of their public toilets, are also locked out of the political process.

Tonight they will have to wait on the sidelines while their councillors argue and vote on whether the Conservative Susan Hall should be allowed to wrest the leadership from Thaya Idaikkadar.

It would be a travesty of democracy if squabbling Labourites allowed her to snatch the top slot, despite the public having voted for a Labour majority.

Harrow’s “strong leader” model of government is ideal for the strident self-publicist Hall who would be able to appoint Cabinet and make all the key decisions herself.

She has long had her sights on the leadership and democracy is not going to stand in her way.

Her challenge for the leadership is on the agenda of tonight’s (Monday, 16th September) meeting in the Civic Centre Council Chamber. Be there, or don’t be there. There’s nothing voters can do about it.
