RE: Should Politicians Be Held Responsible When Their Mistakes Result in Death?

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

Lets be honest local politicians and councilors don't really know much about there chosen field, as a whole people who work in or for the council are there through nepotism this is my experience here in Bristol... How many times have you ever met anyone who works or knows somone who works for the council that you think wow thats a clever person or they really know what there talking about??? again my own experience here is minimal... So its hard to blame these people as they are more than likley being taken for a ride by some cowboy firm wanting to make a quick buck... Id say lets go after whoever supplied and fitted that cladding as they should have known!!

Sort:  

It's possible but if they cut back on people that did know about such things then they are responsible.

good point but cutbacks usually come from the top, and people are under pressure at local level to spend what they can however they can

@tfx96 i agree, the burden of responsibility should lie mostly with the 'professional' contractor, builder etc, who ought to know better.
