Making someone stand who's totally unsuitable for the post, just so we can have a contested election, is not particularly democratic either!Originally posted by MCL@Aug 6 2003, 01:09 AM
If you think it ought, then electing the first leader unopposed makes such a claim of democracy that much harder.
Why not include just Ron (Re-Open Nominations) in the ballots? (Or "none of the above", if preferred). That way the difference between "abstained" and "voted against" is clear, and people would be voting on T&J's suitability for the post, not the contender's unsuitability.
