As EDDC’s majority party is known for toeing the national party line, when can we expect a pre-election reshuffle that gives us a younger cabinet with more women?
It seems most of the younger councillors – male and female – prefer to be Independent! Claire Wright, Ben Ingham and Susie Bond are certainly younger than many of the other councillors.
The current council is heavily over-stocked with people (mostly male) collecting their pensions. Presumably, nearer the election, there will be a push by all parties to attract younger candidates.
Do they have any young woman councillors who could be promoted?
Will the old guard go quietly?

Pale, male and stale is how one newspaper described current politicians! How very true of EDDC!
