If though he indicated he would abolish it then why hold a consultation on the matter which dealt with the feasability of removing it????

He held a flawed consultation which supported scrapping it (the flaws amazingly end up biasing it towards this, which I'm *sure* was coincidental, not) and therefore has to, even though he now realises it's a mistake as far as the city is concerned. That's the problem with direct democracy, it shifts the problem from politicians taking decisions without properly taking into account the public view to politicians setting the questions to get a particular answer.
