Coalition Cooperation in Action

I notice that over at Inside Leg, the PLC Coalition (formerly New Labour) spin-site, much is made of 'things that needed to be taken apart' in yesterday's Environment Scrutiny committee. Having made enquiries, perhaps I could 'take apart' the voting for the Chair and Vice-Chair as a service to Plaid, Labour, and Conservative voters who think that these three are still separate entities?

Labour's June Burtonshaw is now Chair, and was voted in by a combination of Labour councillors, Darren 'Baby Face' Price of Plaid Cymru, and re-cycled Tory, Margaret Smith. Then Smith retained the Vice-Chair's post with the support of Labour and Plaid.

So there you have it. The Plaid-Lab-Con Coalition in action. Good to see them getting on so well together. Incidentally, surely it is about time that the PLC came clean and told us who actually leads their Coalition? They must do away with this sham of pretending to have three separate leaders.
