I am getting a little tired of Lib Dem claims to be the real opposition in Brighton and Hove.
Where is their opposition to another horrendous rise in Labour's council tax?
They simply demand all their pet projects are funded, which would push up taxation even higher.
Where is their opposition to Labour's obsession with sparkly baubles, city status, an elected mayor, Capital of Culture and so on, which has succeeded only in bumping up house prices beyond the reach of local people?
They are too busy booking seats on the gravy train.
Where is there opposition to Labour's myopic vision that all brownfield sites must be sold to the first supermarket or pub chain that comes along, leaving nothing but a cultural wasteland for future generations?
They just stand limply at the head of the queue with their shopping trolleys, euros in hand.
Until the Lib Dems demand the city is run efficiently and effectively, they will be seen for what they truly are - worse than Labour.
