Can’t even organise a coup in a Council

How incompetent do you have to be to give the Deputy Mayor an ultimatum to resign or be sacked, and then when he refuses, it turns out you don’t even have the numbers and one of your own team won’t even be voting with you.

Again I am mystified about why they think rolling Hucker 90% of the way through his term will achieve anything. And more bizarrely they are keeping him on as a candidate yet trying to sack him as Deputy Mayor.

The first rule in politics is do not announce your coup until you have the numbers.
