Letter: Apathy at the elections
Sir: For last week's local elections, in my ward, only one of four candidates bothered to announce themselves to the electorate. It would be difficult to vote for someone without even knowing their name, much less what they would support and oppose. Apathy on the part of the electorate is hardly surprising in the face of such apathy among the candidates.
