Let me be abundantly clear - this is an outrage. Cowards, running scared of the people they are supposed to represent. Are we living in a third world dictatorship, where inconvenient elections can be cancelled by those in power? I am disgusted. How dare they? The arrogance is absolutely astounding. We live in a democracy. That means voting, even when it's not comfortable for the establishment. Their primary motivation is to keep their seats. It is that simple, and it is a disgraceful abuse of power. All councillors who voted for this cancellation should be ashamed of themselves. From May 1st, I won't be referring to the individuals who voted for the May election ban as 'councillors'. They gave that right up when they voted to deprive my constituents of their democratic vote. This is not acceptable in a democratic society. There is NO justification for what they are doing. We will do everything in our power to fight it.
