Dear Gina! Blown out of proportion? In many ways the whole issue is about proportion, proportional representation, that is. The basic initial thrust of this particular thread was to do with tying up loose ends about the actual figures involved. 38% of 24 votes is not quite the same as 38% of a possible 100.000+ votes. Why are you defending the rights of a Quango over the rights of the membership? What is your especial interest in our discomfort over the proceedings? Why do you feel moved to join the lemniscate of controversy on this issue and give it new vigour? This thread was content to proceed along it's designated path untill the quislings turned up for a lambaste. If you are here on your own behalf? try not to look to others to qualify your views. It is in plain evidence you have helped bring this pot to the boil again, the question is, have you anything of sustenance to add to it? BTW, I never scream and yell in any thread, just in case you think that I am doing so now?
