Archdemos Posted May 10, 2010 Libaxx its also usually a stepping stone into national politics itself. most of todays members of parliament held roles as councillors prior to them winning a constituency. so its a deveolopment in the right direction. anyone care to share their names and councils?

Resistance Posted May 10, 2010 ^ In fact very few go on to run for MPs. MPs are usually handpicked members of whichever party and usually are not even from the area they are represting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted May 10, 2010 ^The few I can remember are: Mohamed Ali- Liverpool Kultuun something- Bethnal Green & Bow Awal Olad- Labour Holborn and Covent Garden Abdiwali Mohamud- Liberal Democrats- Kentish town Asha Affi- Tower Hamlets- Respect (I think she lost though?) Libax, they get paid £10,000 (in money and allowance) a month for going to one community meeting a week, hardly volunterring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibtisam Posted May 10, 2010 ^^^loool, Resistance: No, a month, council tax, rent allowance, expense and payment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Resistance Posted May 10, 2010 ^ I disagree, they get a fee and the mx is £15k a year, no near 10K a month, even MPs don;t get that much after claiming all their expenses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
