MAY, 2008 NEWSLETTEROne Party Politics‘With the appointment of the Conservative Boris Johnson as London Mayor, we now have a full set of Conservative Party domination of West Ealing, all the way up to regional government level. West Ealing occupies parts of five Electoral Wards and each of the Wards has three elected Councillors. 14 out of the 15 West Ealing Councillors are members of the Conservative Party. At Ealing borough level there are 43 Conservative Councillors out of the total of 69 Councillors. Our Ealing Greater London Assembly member is a Conservative and the Conservative Party controls the GLA. Unfortunately this lack of political diversity - irrespective of which party dominates - often leads to minimal, public debate on issues and policies. With the axing of Area Committees, which hosted public forums, West Ealing residents will have little, future opportunity to publicly debate issues which affect the whole of West Ealing, or indeed the whole of Ealing'.
