I am a huge supporter of the Local Government Association.
I absolutely believe that the local government world is a better place for having a single voice – and I am in favour of most of what it does.
The report does a great job of highlighting some of the best bits of the LGA and it claims the Graph of Doom, 100 days, and Rewiring Local Government reports showcase local government lobbying at its best.
But as an association, reliant on subscriptions and consensus, the LGA struggles to speak with one voice when it is criticising its own and fails to bite the hands that feeds it.
