The people have spoken

The people have spoken!

Yes the election result is a reminder of those that seek and gain public office of any kind, is that you are representing those that voted you in after what you promised. And if you promise to spend money to build your own memorial to be admired by future generations the present generation may not take to kindly to your dream and send a message of reality. 

That is pretty much what has happened in the Te Awamutu council elections to the Waipa District Council. But do we have a new bunch of green councillors that will take time to get up to speed and under perform as a result? Time will tell and it is up to those that voted these people in to steer them and give them support and keep them honest on promises of more open information flows.

One thing is certain the Museum/Cultural Centre is no where near to a point that will come up with a consensus and I can not help thinking that if some one had rang the bell a bit earlier and had this discussion a year ago that the outcome may have been a lot different. May this be a lesson, you need to drag the majority along with you to have your dream become reality.

And long may democracy live!
