With some Councils in the North West, all Councillors are elected at the same time and this can result in the Councillors from one ward belonging to different parties.
However with HBC approximately one third of the Councillors are elected each year so as far as the electorate is concerned they only have one vote to elect one Councillor
If you are going to have proportional voting you have got to change the voting system
