To top it all off he comes out with the scathing sound bite but then votes in favour anyway if he thinks that the motion won't pass.
The point about him not putting anything forward is more interesting to me though. Out campaigning I'm actually hearing a lot of "if they are currently on council I want them out" type of sentiments. I have the feeling that the election might not be the foregone conclusion that some might think (although that is purely anecdotal on my part).
