Title: More Mayoral Democracy
Post by: fred c on November 26, 2012, 12: PM
It`s rather ironic that a system advocated by the Labour Party seems to be a source of regular embarrasment for them.

Bristols recently elected Independent Mayor appears to have problems with his Labour Councillors, so much for Local Democracy...... but good to see that one Labour councillor appears to have principles.

Well spotted Fred. Labour seem to be all over the place on this subject which is what happens when a policy backfires, I guess.
