Let's keep party politics out of the discussions, eh?

Poole is a Unitary Council with 42 Councillors elected across 16 wards in the Borough. Elections take place every 4 years, the last local elections were in May 2007.
Poole's Council Leader is Councillor Brian Leverett who also leads the Cabinet. The Council is made up of 25 Conservative and 17 Liberal Democrat councillors.

There is still a fundamental difference here. There are procedures that Poole council etc. can go through to do this. You may not like it, but that is the Law as it stands.

What Phorm is doing is not in my opinion legal, and thus very different!
