Is there a realistic difference between the parties? Is it all hot air and bluster?

Talking to people around the city, they all seem fed up with things and say they will vote Reform come the May elections. Whether this is simply talk, or will result in a few seat losses I don't know.

The council has assets that could be sold off. They should stop 'investing' in ludicrous schemes and bankrupt companies. There is plenty of endemic waste within the council itself that could be cut.
Another 5% rise, another broken promise from our excremental government who promised council tax freezes if elected.

Maybe something to do with having a bit of self-respect, worked hard all your life, and generally done well for yourself?

Shocking, isn't it?
I know when I've been more than a couple of days late paying they're soon on to me. Maybe we have two-tier debt collecting?

Maybe the coincil could do a better job of collecting council tax. It'd help: [url]https://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/coventry-news-coventry-council-have-27million-council-tax-black-hole/[/url]

The council thinks it can avoid going bust. I won't hold my breath: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv2z8ywn9r0oThe council thinks it can avoid going bust. I won't hold my breath: [url]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv2z8ywn9r0o[/url]

They led us into this mess through their incompetence. Those responsible are not the right people to extract us from the mess. If they are bailed out, they'll continue as before and we'll still be in the mire. The law needs to change so that when councils go bankrupt, the elected officials are forced to stand down. I have no issue with them standing for re-election, if the electorate re-elects them, that is their lookout.

No doubt they'll be elected again, despite their incomptence.

What irks me, is that even if they do go bust we can't force them to resign.
