    Yes, Tony Blair failed to get the Wrexham Labour nomination but Boris Johnson actually fought Clwyd South and lost, doubt he will choose a Welsh seat as his way back into the Commons in 2015!

    The real problem is the Executive Board structure that was introduced under Tony Blair’s administration. This structure gives a small number of Councillors all the power. The full Council Meetings used to be the main debating chamber with matters being hotly debated in public view. Even the minutes of meetings are not as detailed as they once were. Gone are the days when car parking and the Monday Market income were openly included for all to see.

    Watching the web broadcast, talking to everyone and reading these posts the current and new system clearly doesn’t work, and adds a lot of cost and less transparency. Technology is suppose to be enabling us to get leaner, not put more and more layers in which cost money. Why don’t they go back to a full council, with expert and accountable manager reporting in, and save £1m, or £3m or more a year that can be spent much better on the community.
