[QUOTE="delilah, post: 7411397, member: 76758"] All of the threads on here regarding the NFU are, in effect, calling for a referendum on this or that issue. "Do this or else I quit"'. They illustrate why I didn't vote in the Brexit referendum. The fundamental flaw with referendums is that what is the most important thing in the world to one person, is irrelevant to another. If we are to have a referendum on the NFU and red tractor, then why not have a referendum on the NFU and their zero carbon pledge ? Or their failure to oppose a beef tax ? And so on. What needs to change first with the NFU is for them to start to read everything that is posted on here and see it not as a threat, or a criticism, but as constructive input into how they carry out their role as 'the voice of British farming'. If there was concrete evidence that they were doing that, in the form of policy amendments etc, then I suspect that their life and ours would be rosier. [/QUOTE]
