The most worrying thing is that you look at the Labour manifesto from the last election and under "Local government and communities", this is what it says. Let me say it: "Labour will uphold local decision making in the democratic institutions of local government." Then it goes on to say, "Labour will ensure that major decisions about local democracy involve full participation of the local population from the outset." And let's be really honest. You're talking about a major decision here around local government, yet there's no local participation of the local population and there's certainly none happening from the outset of this bill. So it's a real basic one. We believe that people affected by this decision should have a say in it. But this is an arrogant decision by this Government who is running roughshod over a basic democratic principle.
