Look
at them, brainwashed imbeciles! Can you laugh, can you cry, can you think? In
fact there’s nothing to choose between the members of the Town Council in ‘Free
For All,’ and those of the Committee in ‘A Change of Mind.’ Neither have much
to say for themselves, and both are led by a Chairman.
Number 6 told the Colonel that he could have been a member of the Town Council which is elected once a year. Well it was up until sometime before ‘Dance of The Dead,’ by which time the democratic process had been swept away, although The Village is still democratic in some ways, according to Number 2.
I like to think of the members of the Town Council as former Number 2’s seeing as according to the numbered rostrums they are sub-divided Number 2’s, perhaps they are failed Number 2’s and their fate is to stand on the Town Council. It’s a pity that it’s impossible to read the numbers on the badges worn by the members of the Town Council, they might have confirmed or disconfirmed whether or not they are ex-Number 2’s. Mind you I expect the members of the council do not need to be former Number 2’s, they could be anyone who stood for election. Its lucky for Number 6 that he wasn’t co-opted onto the Town Council, despite having been elected as a new Number 2, otherwise he would have ended up as one of those brainwashed imbeciles! And lucky for the ex-Number 2 who was allowed to leave The Village, but then he didn’t fail in his task, which is lucky for him!
