What this blog is about

This is my view on UK politics as seen from an elected Conservative Councillor with some executive responsibility on Basildon District Council. My posts veer between matters of national interest, so those that are purely local to Basildon District or the Billericay ward that I represent. I make no apology for that. This is real politics. Issues of national import are widely interesting, but very local issues are often of greater interest to the community that is directly affected. Many web commentators seem to take a very jaundiced or dismissive view of local Councils, which seem largely informed by national press stories when a Council gets something wrong. I suspect such cynicism would stop abruptly if someone tried to build a chemical factory next door to where they live. The fact is that we need both the national political debate and the hundreds of local political debates to adequately represent our people.

This is how democracy works.

About Me

Steve Horgan
The author, Steve Horgan, me, is a longstanding member of the Conservative Party and an elected Councillor on Basildon District Council. My main claim to fame, at least as far as the Internet is concerned, is that I stood for parliament in the 2001 general election. I lost; it was Liverpool Walton, a very safe Labour seat. If you don’t know Essex, or England for that matter, Basildon is a semi-rural area encompassing three towns and with a population of around 170000. The Council is Conservative-controlled and I am currently the Deputy Leader of the Council. We have numerous challenges, but I won’t bore you with those. For those that are interested, I am married with two children and four dogs. Oh, and I survived cancer, at least so far.
