The minority given the majority vote

[Tony C]

Every Fed member has the right to vote after all that's what you pay your fee's for.

 

The members of feds are the clubs and not individuals.

The members of feds are the clubs and not individuals.

the individuals form the clubs and the fed shud look after to the best of its ability and thats the majority our club is'nt asking 4 special treatment just ademocratic way of deciding fed matters

i think the rules in scotland and england are different. in scotland at federation delegate meetings only delegates can vote but at federation agm every member has a vote (if they turn up). dont think this applies under rpra rules. also at shu agm every member can attend and vote but in rpra only REGION delegates vote.

Think it is exactly the same here. Have been to many A.G.M's and in different walks of life, and it hase been the same every time.

Will tomorrow check out the exactness of this purely for interest sake. Who's interests remain to be seen lol. But will ask our Fed president who is a stickly for rules and is on comittee of the RPRA Region.

Well it is as I thought.

Now everyone who is a member gets a vote aat the AGM. - Is antquated like Tony C. says and why.

This is a safe guard of course because now  REDCHEQHEN can put in a proposition recinding the law passed in it's entirety, or add or subtract. Also to be replaced by ... or go back etc. which ever the proposer wishes to do. It has to be in writing a month before the A.G.M in order that ALL concerned I.E. say all clubs and there members have had to to look at and discuss etc. if wanted to.

Of course it has to have a proposer and seconder.

One could propose that the law be removed in it's entirety and replaced / or have the motion to go back as it was etc. etc.

Feds, like clubs can call an extroadinary meeting after giving said notice to every club  / member where again they can all vote.

Members can call a Club / or fed meeting at any time giving notice when that have a majority calling for it.

Of course this s always bee the case. That's why clubs rally around to get everyone oe their side there.

Any member is entitled to go to any Fed meeting and voice an oppinion or debate any topic. BUT - and this is where the confusion may lie or be taken advantage of - only the desingnated delegates can vote at these.

The way we vote is outdated from fed level right to the top. The way we vote now was brought in when the favoured mode of transport was horse and carriage. Delegates were chosen simply because it was nigh impossible for the rank and file to get to meetings miles away. Motorways and cars have since been invented ;D along with a decent postal service and dare I say it the www. Why each individual cant have a postal vote or vote via email I don’t know............... well I do know!

 

Couldn't agree more its crackers

i will disagree with some of this jade as not all members have a vote , for instance partners ,only one vote /partnership im sure thats the way it works up here.
