Where are the people we elected to take represent our views? It seems our Member of Parliament didn't give damn about the views of his constituents so where are our councillors?

What do they think that this Iraq crisis will slowly fade away and things will go back to normal and everyone will forget what happened?

All the political parties have let this country down but none more so than the councillors we elected. When election time comes they use the excuse that we should vote for them because they are Muslim....but when it comes to standing up and being counted at a time like this they have all disappeared. It is disgraceful.

No wonder there is so much apathy within our community when it comes to local politicians.

I voted for the first time at the last general election but it seems the vote didn't count at all because our politicians will do what they want anyway.

Jamil,

Neath Close,
