| The Borough Council will just be a 'rubber stamp' exercise. The Leader presumably with his Chief Whip will impose three line whip. The minority group - could nominate one of their own number for Mayor and would be unlikely to win a majority for that - so then the Labour group put forward their nominee and the group - like sheep, unless enough find their spines and vote against the whip - will vote that person in. Of course the Leader is entitled like anyone else to nominate his choice, but that should never preclude others from being able to do the same and have a secret ballot in order to make that choice if there are several nominated people. |
