If you honestly place the slightest faith in Mark Field and Tory Central Office being able to have the slightest influence within their 75% majority of Buckinghamshire County Council then you really are drinking from the wrong goblet.
This is not Tony's Cronies running Buckinghamshire but rather the last members of Thatcher's (blue sky thinking**) England.
Mark Field will solve nothing, because he is all waffle and will come out with the party line "when we are in power we will be better able to make councils such as Buckinghamshire understand,blah...blah...waffle"

>> Field said he had gained support and advice from within the book industry for his proposed venture and added, “We are in talks with IT companies and other organisations to help with some blue sky thinking about modernising the library service without in any way reducing the core function of a library which we see as lending books and providing reference and other materials.” <<"

I'm afraid the cynicism of CK rings true with me, sadly. Very sadly.
In my limited experience but relatively speaking mature years, "the only good politician is one that isn't in power (yet)".
Just hope he goes on record and then embarrass him if he doesn't follow through, if he is ever in the position of being able to follow through.
