More sour grapes?

Oh dear. It doesn't look like the stushie between the independents and the parties in Highland Council is going to settle down anytime soon. The latest row is over appointments to outside bodies. Several experienced independents have been passed over and they are not happy. It does seem as if the political parties have put out a 3-line whip on the vote. Calton is just wondering what the voters in the Highlands are making of all this since none of them voted for the coalition which they now have. That's the trouble with the Single Transferable Vote method of electing councillors. It very rarely produces a party with an outright majority. Some would say that's a good thing, however four years of warfare between the independents and the political parties is not going to be good for the Highlands.
