The Labour and Co-Operative Party | 13 | 32% |
The Greens only got one third of the popular vote - they hardly have a 'mandate' for anything!
Personally I am keen to know what they are doing to ensure that council decisions are truly reflective of the popular vote.
With U-Turns they have already accumulated since taking power, I hope they are not looking to exploit the unfair advantage our electoral process can give - like 1/3rd the vote giving 100% of the power?
**edit**
Just for reference, turnout varied from around 35% to 60% - average maybe 45% - so greens got 1/3rd of less 1/2 the electorate - say 15% of the electorate...
