I don't nessaarly disagree with you, but do you also get a lot of cross party working on the council . It just doesn't always get reported.
On the question of independent councillors, I am convinced that if you could ever get situation were you had 35 independent councillors, it wouldn't take long for groups of various description to start forming. Probably got something to do with human nature.
It used to be said you might remember that if you put 3 councillors together they would form a committee. I think it's the same thing.
