I have met with Cllr Brown on numerous occasions. We disagree on many issues and I have made it very clear that I would never vote for a Conservative candidate. That being said we have treated each other with respect and discussed a variety of issues. Cllr Brown is a man of principle and is not afraid of ruffling a few feathers by sticking to his principles. Many of his Tory colleagues on the Council and our local MP Heaton-Harris could do far worse than follow Cllr Brown's example. He always answers emails and is willing to meet face to face to discuss concerns. He is visible around the village of Earls Barton and does a far better job than other local Councillors standing up for the people of the village in particular and North Northants in general. He has done far more in the short time he has been a Councillor than many of his colleagues who have been Councillors (or MPs) for years or even decades. Rather than get rid of him you should be more like him and North Northants would be a much better run Council than it is at present.
Councillors should represent the voters who elected them. In some nations, politicans face the chop for expressing their opinions. That says more about the fragile ego of the leaders than about the merit of the cause. Thank goodness we live in a democracy in the UK.
