[QUOTE="Walterp, post: 4397134, member: 321"] That's a fair view. It's exacerbated, I suggest, by two trends: 1. recent officers are self-serving - interested in lucrative posts (not 'work') after their term of office - which neuters any practical opposition to contemporary political will. I'm sorry, but there it is. Even the FG has now called for Meurig to speak up. (He should - he is renowned for being passionate about UK farming interests, and he is disinterested in financial advancement; if he feels that he is not the man for that job, which to be fair was not there when he was elected, he should delegate to Mr Guy Smith, by far the most able of the officers around him). 2. the body is divided ideologically, with the more pragmatic officers holding differing policy views from the more politically-orientated element. The outcome is paralysis. [/QUOTE]
