Wow !! I express a personal opinion and I get this...
What I was trying to point out was the number of juniors who actually attended. Not parents who turn up with 2/3 or more votes in their pocket based on family membership - possibly voting on their own opinions rather than those of the children. Did these parents actually turn up and vote for their children using a proxy, having submitted formal proxies from their children in accordance with the constitution of the day? I'm sure the records should be able to show the evidence to support this
I do not understand how consultations, and taking actions based on these consultations, is in anyway undemocratic -- it may well be exactly the opposite.
You find it unacceptable - well you are entitled to your own viewpoint, such is democracy.
Again these comments are personal opinions and are not to be construed in any way, shape or form as an official CWP comment.
