The problem with putting too much credibility in elections actually representing the will of the people is that what "candidates" say they will do and what "councilors" actually do are often two different things. I do recall one candidate who said he was opposed to the STRP but upon election as a councilor he voted in favor of it. This is just one example, and if I had time I could name many others. If only we could rely on a candidate's rhetoric to know what he/she would really do!
