In fact Malcolm Pein won his election on recount
I think probably the baseline is last years Home Director election which was Towers 168 - Wall 92. More recent, and John was facing a different nexus, which was quite annoyed he had called it a nexus.Nick Faulks wrote:Yes, they have done a very professional job of getting hold of the Member Rep votes.Jonathan Bryant wrote:The question for election watchers, has anything changed in the last 6 years that will reverse the strong trend in 2015/2016 of votes not favouring CSC candidates
But I don't think it is quite as simple as looking a direct members and new orgs and seeing if candidates with better reputations such as Malcolm or Chris could close that gap. Quite significant numbers of orgs which probably ought to vote with Mike or Malcolm if they have thought through the policies. But I don't think either of those close to an overall majority, so the non-aligned matter. Although possibly I am just trying to make myself feel important.
