    It’s a shame, but I can also understand why - council meetings and other open events are increasingly security risks, full of wingnut conspiracy theorists.

      Counter-point, council meetings and open events not being a part of politics radicalises people and further exacerbates the issues we see with political extremism since people become more prone to the thought that politicians aren’t working for them, something that could actually potentially happen when politicians don’t meet with constituents face-to-face.
