And I've been round long enough to detect a drop in the quality of the people coming through and willing to stand for office since this came in.
What about introducing a "non - competition" licence with voting rights ?

Best post yet.

OK thanks, I stand corrected....but how come I'd never heard of this provision before ? And yes, I have asked members of the executive about this in conversation. Not well publicised at all....

Last time I had red wine was 5 Minutes ago and I'm settling in to see if we can get this thread to over 50 pages this weekend.

It was never pushed by the anyone and I'm sure it was when there was actually a CEO and was in place well before the present regime but was never published in the mainstream. Always thought it was a good idea having associate membership.
