Proxy Votes

[Gary McPheator]

However I was asking peoples opinion on the issue as it has been raised as a concern by members. As members drive the policies I am duty bound to see if there is something we can do

Of course you do Andy, although it shouldn't preclude cs from offering up policies of their own.

With regard to proxy votes, my remark about agm attendances wasn't totally unrelated. The fewer in attendance, the more proxy votes can swing votes as would for instance supporters of a particular motion turning up en masse.

I would be in favour of a virtual agm lasting for say a week, where motions can be discussed with set timetables for tabling amendments and votes itself with people only being able to vote for themselves.
