scrap party lists for local elections

I think we should ditch the party list system for local elections and go back to first past the post. This is because the current system is too focused on party loyalty rather than local issues, and it's more important than having a fancy proportional representation system.

The party list system just encourages people to vote for a party rather than a person, which is not what local elections should be about. We should be voting for someone who knows our area and can sort out the local problems we're facing, not just some faceless party drone.

I think this change would make local councils more accountable to the people they're supposed to be serving, because councillors would have to work harder to win votes from their constituents rather than just relying on party loyalty.
