If you and the rest of Liverpool hate the government so much please feel free to pay the full amount of council tax required to cover Liverpool's expenditure and demand greater autonomy.
Do be aware though that it'll nearly triple your council tax bill - Liverpool Council spends over £2.90 for every £1.00 raised in council tax.
In other news Ken didn't win - good. However before I'm considered a Tory toff lover Boris didn't get my first preference vote, Siobhan Benita did.
I wonder how different politics would be if people actually looked past the colour on the party logo and voted for the candidates who fit the bill?
