So we were led to believe the reforms had been altered and ACs were safe. Apparently not.
Area Chairmen are “optional”, subject to the discretion of their regionals who incidentally no longer have the one man one vote system applying to them. Very little change. No consultation. Completely unacceptable. I’m also massively bored of discussing reform (especially [...]

In my opinion the problems are not merely the reforms themselves but the way it has been handled; the NME allowed a leak of information and then failed to set the membership straight. The rumours keep changing, the [...]
