How convenient that the Chairman of APC has used his casting vote to elect himself once more. And then to elect one of his acolytes to the role of Deputy.

We are not best served by this apparent manipulation.

So what do you suggest should have happen next???? Both votes were 5 - 5, maybe even the same voters we don't know, the APC website lists 12 current councillors, 2 apologies for absence were noted so they didn't turn up for the meeting and vote. What are you suggesting the apparent manipulation is??

Who knows, and probably most people don't care. The word 'apparent' is important though.

It can't be right that the possessor of a casting vote has the opportunity to produce a result that is personally advantageous.

The decision to choose between a coin flip or the shortest straw....mmmmm tricky.

How it is "personally advantageous" to take on a role that no one wants is something of a mystery.

Don't underestimate the perceived status of the role.

Maybe I am missing something but to me there is no status in this role...perceived or otherwise.

Perhaps you would if you were the holder of the office.

I'm sure for some people it is an ego trip.
