Discussing anything other than achieving a means of altering the constitution, so as to end an undemocratic system, amounts to endless pissing into a very strong wind. It is an undeniable fact that only if and when this is achieved, will it be worthwhile to discuss wants and wishes.

Hello Trevor

The timeframe for the Review was dictated by the remit from conference 2012.
I dont agree with the rest of that paragraph, however you may have some valid reason for stating this. This Exec and particularly myself does not try to avoid or out maneuver anything we dont like. I would hope that the review is not a farce, if I thought that I would even bother to be making our submissions.

Whether it is undemocratic or not is a moot point. What it seems to be is a system that doesn't suit all, and in the latter years has been tested from commercial aspects. It is not perfect, but what is? Hopefully that will be a positive result from the review
