This week saw Portsmouth City Council’s Mayor Making ceremony and Annual General Meeting.

We interviewed CLLRS Graham Heaney (Deputy Leader Labour group on PCC) & George Madgwick (Leader of Portsmouth Independents Party on PCC) to hear what happens when two parties can both lay claim to the number two spot on the council.

• How do you decide when the next largest groups on the council are two parties both with 9 Councillors?
• How do you make a Mayor?
• Why did the PIP Councillors chose not to sit with the other council members on stage for the ceremony?
