• Thank you Simon. I’m sorry I missed this for every possible reason.
  I personally had not seen your link. We share comment moderation duty so who sees what depends on who’s doing it.
  Walter Burton phoned us and so told me about this direct.
  We’re very glad of information like this and to see it shared as you did.

• Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll
  The fact is that the SNP councillors in the Argyll and Bute for Change group are not ‘SNP councilors’ in council group terms – as rules forbid membership of more than one group.
  So the ‘Russell camp’ is definitely no longer in the council’s SNP group, although presumably they will personally vote in elections according to their preferences.
  And IF the other 8 SNP members have actually joined [as opposed to supporting [the Argyll, Lomond and the Isles group, there is no formal SNP group at all in Argyll and Bute Council.
  If this has become the situation, it means that the SNP as a party has no right of purview over the behaviour of ANY of its originally elected councillors, none of whom would now be SNP councillors.
  You have to say this is fun. It's not politics but it is a laugh.
• Argyll and Bute Council: Councillor McCuish leads again
  As given in one of the recent updates above - the missing person is Councillor Strong - from the, as of this morning, Argyll and Bute for Change Group. This would leave that group with 18 members but only 17 present to vote - which would not be enough to carry them to administration IF all other 18 councillors voted together.
  This has to be likely but in the current situation the finessing is so arcane that one cannot be certain of anything until it's done.
• Argyll and Bute Council: Councillor McCuish leads again
  The fact is that they were quite prepared to work with the Liberal Democrat and Conservative groups - but were ordered by the the SNP to face expulsion from the party or to leave the administration that was planning just such a coalition.
  We do not yet know what the SNP party position is today - although in our 14.15 update above, we have laid out the range of possibilities - but we do know that the 8 SNP Councillors have not resigned from the party.
• Argyll and Bute Council: Councillor McCuish leads again
  Sincere apologies for the temporary error - now corrected - and thank you for the prompt.
  We are doing our level best - live - to get changing situations out to people as fast and as best as we can.
  When we inevitably have the odd muddle [like cloning Mary Jean Devon], it is corrected very quickly.
• Argyll and Bute Council: Councillor McCuish leads again
  Apologies. We’re working flat out to keep the information coming. Anne Horn got submerged by a second Mary Jean Devon – correction now made.
  It IS a confusing situation because the council has elected a leader with no obvious administration to lead.
  That comes next.
  With two 18-strong groups, the issue is how will a decision be made?
  We think that the Provost has a casting vote – a situation which with the Provost and the Depute Provost now in the same camp, cannot be other then controversial.
  We cannot afford to drop an entire day for an event of indeterminate length so we do not know whether Provost Councillor Isobel Strong is in the Chair; or whether she is still absent through serious illness.
  If she is absent through illness, this would not have prevented her known wishes form being recorded as her membership of the group named in the council email at the top of this article.
  However if she was absent, it would prevent her from voting.
  But the impact of that vote would depend on who else is absent.
  It has been pointed out to us that Councillor Semple has posted on his facebook page since the meeting began – raising a question we cannot answer: Is he absent – which would balance the Strong vote if she is absent; or is he posting from the chamber as matters wind their interminable way through to some conclusion or other.
