[QUOTE="Austin7, post: 7456263, member: 42100"] White Rabbit thanks for your compliment but I fear you miss my punch line, which was “It’s my belief that those who say a lost vote is the end are not serious players” I have always believed that potato growers need a body to enable collective activity. That is why, however frustrated I am, I can’t bring myself to vote it down. But I also can’t support those who have administered it over the last decade. I will abstain hoping that AHDB potatoes gets the kicking it richly deserves. It needs to be a near death experience. From the start of the Potato Council the final decision where to go should a ballot be lost is in the hands first of the Minister and then Parliament. It would be irresponsible for the Minister to leave the industry without a body just because of the blatant mismanagement under which that body has suffered. We need to recognise that the body and its’ management are separate entities.The body has been as ill used as the Levy payers. Clearly resignations are required, clearly Nick Saphir needs to embrace real total change and clearly those who have through understandable frustration bought this ballot into being need to be man enough to accept that we should give it another chance.
