To highlight the futitily of party politics, a retired Britisher is running for office as a Jedi Knight. His platform:
“There really is no place for the posture politics of Westminster at this very local level of governmentÂ…If it is a job for council to cut grass, the question should not be whether to paint the lawnmower New Labour red, Conservative blue or Liberal Democrat gold but rather how often and how short do the people of Thornbury want their grass cut.”
