DOES Dr Phil Thomas think that the good people of St Helens don’t have the common sense to understand that by-electing all of the councillors at the same time it would save the tax payers a lot of expense?


It also makes a lot of sense owing to the fact that St Helens has had mega cuts imposed by central government under the austerity cuts and why would a political party be against changing the way we hold elections unless they are unsure of their own policies?


For me, to elect all local councillors at the same time is far more democratic, it also gives more power to the people in our local communities.
