[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 10438, member: 13"] OK well an election by all and sundry would be an interesting experiment but do you truly believe it would result in a more competent board or a better board, or a better run organisation than we have now? Me, I think it would be something like our elections for government. People with charm, charisma, good looks or an ability to speak well get elected. Some very competent people who unfortunately lack those attributes would not get elected. So to compensate for that we also have a system of "list MP's". To get competent people into government who would be unlikely to otherwise get in due to an inability to attract votes from the general public. This system gets people of talent and needed skills in. But it could equally be argued it is not truely democratic. But it works. [/QUOTE]
