Council of ghosts

Re: “City dwellers urged to vote on May 22”, (BP, May 10).

In just a few days, Bangkok will elect not only a governor but council members. However, I’ve seen nothing from the authorities or in the media about who the council candidates are — let alone their visions, achievements and politically affiliations — or lack thereof. Nor have I seen or heard anything from any council candidate.

Since nobody’s interested in the council, let’s either reform it to make it meaningful or abolish it and save some money. BURIN KANTABUTRA
