This system is hopeless

When you see this kind of things you end up to this conclusions. With "this" I am refearing myself to something that happened in my town. My mom was in the local council, representing the town with the PSN (PSOE). Everything went fine, everybody was happy with her because she was different: "more social than politic".
There came the moment to disagree with the PSN team in one decision, in one vote. The issue of the Bardenas and the army training with bombs there. All the people in Tudela is more than tired of all of this. They were like 50 years for now and now the contract is ending. The local council had to decide what to do: we let them continue for another 20 years? we say no?
My mom, like the rest of the people from Tudela, is against the army throwing bombs there. BUT! PSN, from Pamplona and Madrid, decided their position about that issue would be to let them continue for another 20 years more. The problem is, when they wanted to win the elections in Tudela, the PSN declared that they were against that topic.
My mom was forced to vote "yes" so after that she left the PSN but not the local council.
Now the PSN is asking her to leave the local council so they can put another PSN person in her place, probably a person that can obey them forgetting the own conscience.
But you can read all the comments that actually are by her side, but she is not a good politician, she is a social worker and fighter. She made them look at themselves in a mirror and they didn't like what they saw. So, they ask her to leave so they can forget what they are: cowards. Because she is not the only one against the issue of Bardenas in the PSN. We all have seen them march in a demonstration each year against that topic, now silently agree with what they are told to do.
