If you think local government elections are free of politics you would be shocked at what’s going on in two local GA’s here. Facebook posts constantly trying to destroy certain candidates. One councillor refusing to stand again because of bullying. The 80 year old mother of a candidate having a breakdown over the material being posted about her daughter. if you have a choice I wouldn’t stand for local government. Much better to be a benevolent dictator of the whole country. I mean who wouldn’t vote for beer, wine and cakes.
