Haringey is pressing on with efforts to whip up a frenzy of apathy among local residents, via a dubious consultation on whether or not the borough should have a directly elected mayor.
The online survey is not validated in any way at all - I have now completed it twice, once in my own name and once as "Bill", a 50 year Old Kurdish transsexual whose email address is x@x.x. I have no idea whether neither or both submissions have been accepted. I suggest you disregard Bill's contribution.

Ok, so the government has passed legislation which ends what we commonly suppose to be democracy. That is, we elect a representative chamber and it makes decisions collectively. Now that is to be ended.
So why isn't this massive front-page news? Why aren't there riots in the streets about it?
I myself did not even know the 2007act says what the Haringey website says it does. It ought to be called the "Abolition of Local Democracy Act".
What next - ban MPs voting in Parliament, and give all power to one Leader? That is Fascism. So we have an Act of Parliament which imposes fascism at one level of government and no-one even notiiced?
This is far more a step towards Fascism in this country than the election of two BNP MEPs. I am genuinely frightened by this, and by teh fact no-one seems to have noticed what an appalling thing it is.
Now I've tried the survey.
It's APPALLING. It forces you to choose either one version or the other of abolition of representative democracy. It doesn't give you the option of saying "No, I don't want either of these choices".
Then it asks you a whole load of question about who you are, nothing at all about what you want from them.
And you people in Haringey are taking this crap lying down?
Sheesh. Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!
