Can the Allies For Democracy please explain what they mean as an "improved committee system"? Nothing I have read so far has given any details.

There has also been a suggestion "the real debate about how to open up local government" (Letters, September 5) should take place after the referendum. This is typical of a committee system - always defer decisions whenever you can. The city requires leadership and action rather than fudge and waffle.
