"It's not indifference we see at election times. It's a severe malaise. Like a fever, it my have to run its course."
Brilliant quote Evelyn, but what if what we are seeing is not a fever but the return of terminal stupidity?
Running its course seems to be the motto of the antivaxer movement when what we really need in out politicians is for them to muster the courage to roll up their sleeves and take a shot of common sense.

I know nothing about the antivaxer movement.
Nor do I know what is meant by " the return of terminal stupidity.
What would encourage our local politicians "to roll up their sleeves and take a shot at common sense ? "
Lack of success in the last election ? But that's not what happened.
I was the champion of common sense. I was the one defeated.
Mayor Dawe apparently confided to a colleague after his first election, he only wanted two terms in the Mayor's office.
Now the second term is secure, we are watching his successor, Councillor John Abel being lined up to occupy the office next term.
Like....dividing the spoils.
Now let's see how comfortable the rest of Council is being clumsily shifted in that direction.
It's the ultimate triumph of stupidity.

I think the mayor may have changed his mind. He does that quite frequently.
I don't see Mayor Dawe quitting after this term. I also think that Cllr Thompson is a more likely successor.
This speculation about whether Geoff Dawe will seek a third term as mayor indicates that there are people with nothing better to do but let their minds roll around like a bowling ball heading down the lane.
We are three months into the new term, not three years!
...and others with nothing better to do than comment on those speculative comments.
Commenting on speculation hopefully cuts down the amount of speculation and for an alternative gives a constructive, positive world-view.
So there: 16:27
Who care what he does ? - He has to get through the term first and the water is getting a bit rough. I am enjoying it now that I don't feel obligated to monitor the activities of our local goofs.
13;15- I agree.
John Abel mayor? Bahahaha!
Cheers, 19:33.
