Local governments worldwide have taken on new significance in recent years. The drive for democracy is responsible for much of this since local self-governance is the foundation of democracy. If it doesn't work at this level of governance, it probably won't work at higher levels of interaction between citizens and those who represent them. In addition, there is growing recognition that local governments hold the key to the delivery of most basic human services. National governments aren't very adept at carrying out programmes that should be locally based and managed.

The role of local councilor is an important factor in whether or not democracy works to the satisfaction of the citizens. More often than not, they are the individuals who decide those issues that make life easier for all of us. It is local governments that usually provide services like trash collection, clean water, human waste disposal, local streets and footpaths, parks, basic education, markets, and many more of the things we take for granted. For granted, that is, until they don't work or aren't available.
