I have this week read some of the most hilarious material for a long time. It is TCC candidates election campaign write ups on themselves. You only have to read the main catchphrases to burst into tummy rumbling laughter.
For example, 'Proven leadership”, 'An experienced councillor”, 'An astute business woman”, 'A focussed business leader”, 'For strong and effective leadership”.
These are from just a few of the very highly self-opinionated candidates but there are a number of others.
There are also one or two who have been pushing themselves intentionally in front of the public for the last few years.
Then there are those honest candidates, who just present themselves as and who they are, which is what the voters want. They do not need a pile of candidate generated fictional rubbish to confuse them. I know who I won't be voting for.
