Dear Julian,

In your latest Greenham Newsletter you explain the current decision making system at WBC and then add the following paragraph:

Democratic? Not very – but it is the system we currently have to work under at WBC, and despite our best efforts as an Opposition to get back to the old “Committee” system (where every Committee was made up of members from both political sides in proportion to the overall split, each of whom had the right to both speak and vote), the Conservative administration rather like the absolute power that the Executive system confers on the 10 Executive Tory councillors, and they will not entertain any discussion about changing it.

In the light of this I was wondering if you could explain why, when the Lib Dems were the majority party at WBC, they replaced the Committee system with the Executive system if they are so against it?

I trust that a commitment to revert to the Committee system will be part of your manifesto in 2015?

Yours sincerely

Blackdog

Julian, only you could know that I don't subscribe to your newsletter!! And don't flatter yourself about being by new "arch enimy". The fact is, you are self obsessed and ego driven, going to any desperate length to get someone to vote for you. When you start to focus on the issues and representing the majority rather than the vocal few, you'll find that more people will take you seriously.

At least Garvie let's us know it's him. And is open about it. As opposed to JSH who seems skulk about hidden in the darkness too afraid to come out. Credit to Garvie for being upfront.

Much rather have a politico who stuck his face on something, said "this is what I believe" and let us decide for ourselves, than some idjit obviously worried about getting caught in the sunlight when his stone is removed.

one - nil to Garvie really.
