I disagree (but you'd expect that!). If you want to guarantee 100% control of something then you do not go into an alliance/partnership or whatever. This is the same for political coalitions, marriages etc. Especially when those who made the agreement, in good faith, are replaced within 12-18 months. I am struggling to think (but will no doubt soon be reminded) of one 'joint' outfit in which all parties have got, or retained, everything they wanted / wished.
