Whether that is a matter of inevitable failure to get exactly what you want or, more likely, indicative of the inability of the politician to reach the goals their ego tells them they should attain is a different matter.<br /><br />I have no doubt whatsoever that my political career will end in just this way.<br /><br />I apologise if the reaction to the first post was a bit harsh. However, the comment is unfair. There is no one more committed to fighting development than Tobias Ellwood, he's been consistent in doing so, collecting petition signatures and raising the issue within Parliament and with the Council at every opportunity.Nick Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455029899103031520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25735326.post-74044220620634933042007-02-01T11:40:00.000+00:002007-02-01T11:40:00.000+00:00I think the previous writer is saying is he or she...I think the previous writer is saying is he or she feels that Mr Ellwood has put himself on a pedestal,all with good intentions.Rememeber as councillors and MP's they work for us.<br />As we elected you we to as constituents can kick you out.And it does seem that one thing with political careers is that it all ends in tearsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25735326.post-86955516264746385222007-01-31T18:56:00.000+00:002007-01-31T18:56:00.000+00:00....And this has what to do with the issue of back.......And this has what to do with the issue of back garden development?<br /><br />By the way, Tobias pays for his entire office staff and travel from his expenses.
