“this site has become virtually a Tory discussion group”

Not sure I agree with that Merseymike. If non-Conservatives want to come and contribute here there’s nothing stopping them from doing so - and they are.
Maybe you can persuade Barnaby Marder to come back. Or Ian Mackintosh, whose predictions last summer pointed to the biggest Labour landslide in history?

the problem with the Lib Dem proposal is who will become the opposition? Apart from one Independent Conservative, all the other 65 Councillors will be members of the new coaltion. Whatever else that is appalling for democracy in Wirral. Its not as if one would have a “government of all the talents” no!- all the mediocrities - yes

Think we can do without Ian!

Seriously, I think it would be better if there was a mix of views - must admit I don’t post much now simply because its become such a tory love-in.

Sefton has had all party government since the cabinet system was introduced tho at the moment the LD’s are having a hissy fit
