Ross,
Let me amplify my point. I am simply saying that it should be up
to each constituency alone to decide who may or may not represent it.
I do not believe it is appropriate for anyone outside the ISPs to tell
us whom we can choose to represent us in the Council; that would be
tantamount to exerting control over our constituency.
