Gayle, you argument about the Conservatives being the largest group and morally bring allowed to form the council is rather dubious when you look at the situation in Blackburn, where Labour have 31 seats and the rag bag coalition (of tories. fib dems and for for darwen) have 33 seats. Surely by your argument there should now be a Labour administration there.
