Given the split of the votes at the general election, it's a shame that there's not a more vibrant "politics" scene within Cambridge both online and outside the confines of the councils' chambers.

It would be good to have local "Question Time" sessions - say once every four months in different parts of the city to get people talking about some of the big things that are happening in and around the city.

In fairness to the Council, I think they would say the Area committees are effectively a question time forum - unfortunately they are also a lot more besides which reduces their general appeal.

That said, I do like the idea of a more general 'Question Time', or even themed meetings with panels of representatives from various parties...

Cambridge = Worst clone town in the country! (Not sure whether the authors made it down Mill Road...)
