BBC Radio Cymru - Taro'r PostOn Taro’r Post today there was a discussion about merging Anglesey County Council and Gwynedd County Council. Taking part where John Chorlton and Goronwy Parry, both Anglesey Councillors, both against the merger with Gwynedd County Council.
And well done to both of them for putting forward a united front by…arguing amongst themselves, requiring a Gwynedd Councillor from Caernarfon to intervene and tell them to behave.
Also I was interested in the argument put forward by John Chorlton, that if Councillors want to fall out with one and other in private behind closed doors it has nothing to do with us. John knows best, sadly his best is not good enough.
It has everything to do with us, and it’s blatantly obvious that the Councillors still haven’t got it. The problem isn’t with the Council at such, the problem has always been political infighting amongst Councillors that has resulted in a political impasse. There’s no point them denying it now – all of Wales have heard them acting like children on the very programme you would expect them to behave and show some decorum at least.
One is a Labour Councillor, the other is a Conservative Councillor, so the political parties cant even blame the independents this time.

A pity Chorlton forgot to use the prefix 'ex' before he said Councillors.
I'd love to write 'nils desperandum' but can't bring myself to do so in all honesty.
"if Councillors want to fall out with one and other in private behind closed doors it has nothing to do with us"
I dare say it isn't - provided they then get back to running a good Council. Can you spot the problem with that one, Chorlton?
Accountability: read about it, you dumbo.
