Don't be foolish. 51% have in no sense declared against Short. At best, 18% have. A further 22% have declared for no candidate, a view that might have commended itself to the ECF Board, in my opinion.Michael Farthing wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 10:24 pmWell, as of this moment, 51% of the - alleged- members taking part in a straw poll in this place have declared against Short and 49% in favour. I agree the data is 'slight'.
The question remains: who, or what, does the ECF Board think it represents when it takes a position on matters like this? If it's merely the sum of its prejudices then we, the paying multitude, should know - and object. If it's the views of the membership, the playing & paying community, then we deserve to know what the minimal steps might be that would secure confidence that those views were being reflected. As things stand, all we've been given is a risibly pompous statement that presents the ECF as a minor arm of the Ministry of Defence. Further folly
