In 2012, the majority of people in Wakefield District did not vote in
the Local Elections. Of the 257,119 people who could have voted. 180,259 chose
not to do so, we see a controlling group that has held power since 1974
and a majority who do not see the point of voting. Under the present
system there is an election in three out of every four years with,
effectively, the potential for only one third of the council to change each
time. People do not see the power or point of their vote and do not engage with
the process. We need to see that chance for change. With colleagues, I am
working on a proposal that could help change this situation and unlock
democracy for the people of the district. If you want to help please get in
touch........ Let me know what do you think?
