I've read through this article multiple times, and still do not understand the difference between the council of aldermen and the general council. When it says that the city council elects alderman, does it mean that they elect them from within their own ranks, or do they/can they elect people not in the city council? This is confusing, as I'm not sure we have anything like this municipal setup in the United States, where many cities have an popularly elected executive and a popularly elected city council with all department heads being chosen from outside of the city council. Is there perhaps anyway this could all be further clarified? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 09:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
I see that this page requires serious editing for language problems and clarity. Also, the terms used in English are not really that clear or even correct. I'm going to spend time to edit this page over the next few days. Schildewaert ( talk) 23:06, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
