If I vote in the municipal election, my X will be by the name of the councillor who impressed me during the past term.
I judge council by their response to what is important to me during their term in office, not by what is said at all-candidates' meetings. Unless something of a criminal nature comes to light during all-candidates meetings, what is said during an election campaign is for people who have not paid attention to what their council has been doing while in office.
All-candidates meetings should be replaced by all-new-candidates meetings. These are people the public has not seen in action before, so meeting them can help voters decide whether to trust them with their vote.
