I'm making the bold assumption, that most people here are not running, in either local body or national elections.

Everyone loves the complain about what "public servants" do. So why not step up and do something about it?

No accusation intended or implied. Just curious.

Because people wouldn't vote for me. Because I haven't found a think tank to fund my campaign.

Because people wouldn’t vote for me.

Where are you based, and do you care about local council issues? You can at least start with community board.

I don't look, talk, or think like a politician, not even the ones that are on the community board.

I know this because I have attended many forums and talked to many local politicians.
