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

Interesting point Gayle. I would take issue on one point though, the present leader of the council being a strong leader.
Strong leaders don't prevent other people speaking, strong leaders are also prepared to listen to other peoples views. A strong leader doesn't throw personal abuse at people as a means of shutting them up. I could go on, but I'm sure you could include a few yourself.
Strong and effective leadership is fundamentally about being inclusive, not exclusive. What you see from the present leader of the council is weakness not strength.
