Life After Party Politics

In this Podcast we talk to Vicki Pite who until recently was a Councillor in the London Borough of Enfield. However she resigned from the Council because she felt unable to serve the people in her Ward when faced with a rigid and autocratic local authority.

When you have given your life to politics what happens when the door is shut and you are a Councillor no longer and when you still have a passion for politics and improving the life and well being of those around you.

Is there a life after formal Party politics or are you shut out in the cold. This is what we hope to discuss with Vicki. Is it a case of being shut out or an example of being liberated. Party politics can be a nasty business with bickering and inflated egos and the constant battle for power of ten takes over from the pursuit of principle.

Can being free of this create a new life where you are liberated to express your views and not be whipped into submission by the controlling Party elites. Can being free allow you to create alliances with civil society more freely and effectively? In other words does freedom from Party politics give you more influence as you work with civil society to make a difference.

These and other issues we will be discussing with Vicki and try to discover is life without the Party a better life.
