So, whether they like or whether we like it or not, they both need each other and we need both of them.

Gayle I actually agree with you, back in the mid 90s the council framework was 44 Labour 3 Tory councillors and to be quite honest it was pointless, much the same as the Tory Government in the 80s with 100 plus majorities and Labour Government in the late 90s early 2000 with 100 plus majorities. For any democracy to work there has to be a strong opposition otherwise you may just as well forget it altogether
