Canterbury City, Seasalter

The question of which pateirs are important immediately raises the question: important to who (or what)?If you mean important to a particular person, then obviously everyone's going to have their own answer. If you mean important the institution, then every party is equally important. After all, the whole point of democracy is to let everyone have their say. The idea of increasing deposits to keep out the little guy goes totally against this, and smacks of a boys' club .I'm sick of people complaining that politicians are no good and how they don't want to vote for anyone. The whole point of the system, whichever form it takes, is that if you don't like it, you can get involved and help to change it.
