Politics Defined ...

From the outside, this appears to be a populist movement and utterly spontaneous. Can someone from Georgina assure us that no individual is driving this activity who has a political axe to grind. We Aurorans have learned to be cautious about motivation. Since we do not know who your political personalities are, it would be nice to feel we are seeing the full picture as events move forward. Everyone up there got clean hands ?

What do you mean? Does everyone up there have clean hands? What is it you don't understand?

How do you define politics ?

If the current Georgina Council is unable to restore faith with the residents of  Georgina  before the next election, what  would you propose to remedy the community's  discontent.

Candidates do not defeat themselves. Particularly incumbents..

Citizens must come forward and offer to serve.  To effect change, new councillors must  be elected to replace  incumbents.

It's how the system works. It's not perfect, as has been said before, but it's the best there is.

Georgina should hope there are citizens who care enough and are sufficiently outraged to be willing to step forward.

Do it in  good faith and in time  for  names, faces and character to become familiar.  To ensure against  lurking opportunists  with nothing to commend them but  the  community's failed confidence in the current leaders.

There is no disgrace in backing one's convictions with willingness to serve. There is work to be done.

Without a doubt,organisers of the public forum have leaders among them.
