AFTER the election of two genuine independents to City of York Council, let’s hope there are more true independents with no past political party affiliation out there who want to make a difference to our city.

Whatever they may say in public, the established parties always come to power with their own agendas.

Until we have a majority of independents, or a situation where they hold the balance of power, money will be wasted and political sparring will always take up too much time.
