The New Political Landscape of Flintshire

In the previous local government Labour had a 2 seat advantage over all the other parties joined together so they ran the county. Cllr David Williams of Penyffordd refused to play the game ( 3 meetings out of 15 attended) so the Independents had to battle against Labour with one less vote.
Now the tide has changed.

The new line up for Flintshire is as follows:-
Independents 26
Labour 22
Liberal Democrats 11
Conservatives 9
Plaid Cymru 1
Still to be Decided 1

Hope Election shortly for 1 place at the county table due to the untimely death of a candidate

So this weekend there will be some horse trading to form a Flintshire government.

Labour will have to find an unlikely alliance if they are to form part of the new government.
The Independents and the Lib Dems or the Independents and the Conservatives? or a mixture of all?

Cllr David Williams' vote at the table is no longer that crucial with such a majority.
Is David going to take part in the democratic process or is he going to bury his head in the sand like he did for the last 14 months?

I am told that David is entitled to so many half days off to attend council meeting by law.
