At full strength Luton Borough Council has 48 members representing 19 wards, and there are currently 35 Labour, eight Liberal Democrat and four Conservative councillors.
Your gonna have bugger all say even if you do get it. Though I suspect you are doing it more for a ego boost than anything else?

Doing it to get on the planning committee!

Sorry I'm naive, but what advantages are there to getting on here?

You would even admit that in public? Have you no shame?
Just another councilor with a private agenda.

I'm not sure it still counts as private at this point.

My private agenda is to rid the world of the cancer of socialism.
It kills a lot of people and enslaves the survivors in a regime of fear and inequality.

From your post to Obama's ears! 
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington

Cancer enslaves people?

I do not think the word Socialism means what you think it means.

For one considering public office, you seem to be rather lax about the statements you post on a public internet site (I seem to remember one about a fire alarm and you "not giving a damn" about the fact that people would come in looking for you in the event of a fire...)
Wonder if the local Labour / LD group would be interested in your comments nearer election time - maybe not this one, but perhaps the next...
I pity the people of Luton sometimes.....well, more or less all the time, but more now.

No, the labour lot pissed away £100,000,000 on a busway that nobody wanted, that was not needed and that will only ever make a loss.
The reason being political rather than evidence based.
I would like to see council tax spent on the necessities rather than vanity projects that will burden the people of Luton in debt for generations to come.
The planning committee is the best way of stopping socialists pissing away money.

Public office should be used for public service; that is, working towards the betterment of the community as a whole. It should reflect self sacrifice on the part of the elected official. If they have a personal want, it should only be acted upon if it will benefit the community as a whole, keeping in mind both the economic and social makeup of the community.

Yeah. But what is for "the betterment of the community"? If you're in position where you're able to decide you'll decide what YOU think is better. You can't (and never will) please all with your decisions. And having one in the office that cares about how much the city can afford might be better in the long rund than one who spends more than has just for the sake of "change" and "improvement".

I'll use the example of my grandfather, 25 years on the school board as a volunteer. He delivered school supplies during the '30s, '40s and '50s without being compensated for his time, wear-and-tear or fuel.
It was a service he provided without compensation.
