Having read most of this thread (oops, accidental rhyme

) with interest and not a little amusement, I agree with you ... England will win the World Cup before there is harmony, or at least a willingness to co-operate, in Hyndburn Council. Problem is, as I see it from outside, is party politics at the local level .... I can't for the life of me see what advantages there are in a system which stumbles on the pettiness of party at the local level. It has nothing to do with democracy; you don't need party politics to run a democratic local council; you need people commited to improve Hyndburn, and a group of independents could probably do a much better job.
