With the electorate so small this referendum could mean that a small turnout could leave the Councils undersized for three months and no guarantee that a special election would resolve the issue. With an electorate in single figures (a not unlikely proposition) then Johns idea that being nominated by a Citizen in good standing is enough approval would be more suitable. I think both referenda should be made to work together, thereby covering both aspects. [[User:David Finn|David Finn]] 10:00, 6 December 2011 (UTC) | |||

Electoral system
I certainly support changing the electoral system, but I'm unclear over exactly how this proposed system works. Are votes transferable, for example? John Stephenson 13:37, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
