Because we are dealing with an arrogant Government that has lost direction and continues to push through the regional agenda, which means more taxpayers money being spent by unelected bureaucrats and key decisions taken by people who are not accountable to the local electorate. It's hard to believe that all this is happening despite the fact that undemocratic Regional Assemblies were overwhelmingly rejected by the electorate in Mr Prescott's own backyard.

In my area we are having a vote on the formation of a unitary council, many of those councillors supporting the move are also members of the Regional Authority I cannot belive this is just chance.
