What example is this giving, and how will this encourage local people to "engage" with politics, and support real democracy?<br /><br />Philip.Philip Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216646114377430489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-79143881440071957112016-03-12T01:48:58.700+00:002016-03-12T01:48:58.700+00:00Very disappointed with Corbyn and McDonnell on thi...Very disappointed with Corbyn and McDonnell on this one.
