Power to which people?

Stephen Kingston

Red Pepper, October/November 2007.

Read it at http://www.redpepper.org.uk/article549.html

The government is promising ’devolution right to the doorstep’ as a
means of reinvigorating local democracy. A pilot participatory budget
making project, whereby people can ’have a direct say’ in how their
taxes are spent, has been running in Salford. Stephen Kingston questions its democratic credentials.

  • “In the absence of a place where a genuine reinvention happens, an honest substitute will be a city that shelters a fiction of the reinvention that never occurred. A city that assumes the external appearance of the expectations of that one who sought it, leading him to believe in a battle won. A city that is benign to those who change in nothing except in the belief that something important has changed, and who euphorically begin to build a life on that certainty.” Alexandre Andrade [translated from Portuguese]
