Considering the slagging off I've got from here and there over the fact that I just dumped the TOME on the Cam 'without consultation', when I read the post about the National officer elections I couldn't help but be tickled over noticing that changes to the structure are being made...er...without consulting the membership.

Seems that people learn the political necessity of the fait accompli bloody fast when they're in the hot seat *g*

heh heh

I'm glad someone else noticed this
(tho I did think you would ;o)

quite frankly the cam needs a dictatorship for a couple of years to sort it all out

then ( and only THEN) democracy *may* and very *may* work

*shrug* sadly people don't seem to see this *sigh*

That would be....

Because it's complete bullshit :)

We had two 'dictators', that's what got us this fucked up.

We need openness, fairness and involvement.

If you can GUARANTEE a benevolent dictator who WILL shuffle off when what needs to be done has been done, then fine. Oh, you can't?

Would you want a dictatorship IRL? No, didn't think so.

And AFAIK the changes in structure (oversight etc) still have to be ratified, I thought that was why it was being announced as part of the AGM.

Time to check...

Congratulations Grim - you noticed.

However as i got lots of stuff about how the constitution was in places illegal we need to sort that bit out first

oh there is at least one person who would sod off when what needs to be done is done
and who in the meantime would just DO what needs done - tho that certainly wouldn't be popular :)

but that person currently doesn't have the time to do the job so therefore isn't currently considering standing

oh and we got this fucked up because things weren't done for a few years *shrug*

and openess and fairness yes - but ONCE its all sorted out

hell in my opinion the society should take 3 months out and concentrate everyones energies to dealing with all the stuff for once and for all *shrug* not very likely tho :)
