Edwards, Hughes and Grogan took three of the Burnley Council's 45 seats...
The Labor Party easily retained control of the council in Burnley, a town of about 90,000...
balloting for almost 6,000 seats on 174 English town councils.

My, the Brits do like a lot of government, 45 council seats for a town of 90,000.

It not a fluke either, the 174 towns mentioned average over 34 council seats per town.

My city has a population of about 55,000, we have 6 city council seats.

There is nothing more Communist than having the people involved in the government.

Clamp down on the masses. Long live the state.
