They're never fed up hearing from their electors. It's the only human contact some of them get.

What Marlon, is wrong with paying for one's rubbish? If it takes a "bin tax" to finance the collection of rubbish, in all its forms, and it isn't already in effect, then it's high time such a tax was introduced. I find it hard to believe there isn't already such a tax in Glasgow. The collection of rubbish is the responsibility of the city, and since that's an expensive operation, then it has to be paid for.
Isn't that what the Council Tax is for?
I'd think Onyirtodd, that one's council tax is one's share in the cost of everything the council has to pay for. If the council pays for having rubbish picked up, then of course, this cost will be spread among the residents of the area serviced by the council. The unfair aspect of this, is that some households create a great deal less rubbish than others, yet have to pay the same portion of their tax towards garbage as those who make a lot more use of the rubbish pick-up. Maybe this pay-as-you-use aspect of Maggie Thacher's poll tax had some merit.
