[QUOTE="tom, post: 4844708, member: 648"] Hi Danlian, by self-selected I meant those at conference were the ones who had chosen to be there and I appreciate not everyone could have made that choice. I read a piece by Monbiot where he said the only way to get truly representative government is to select people by lottery much like doing jury service; for most farmers that would be totally impracticable as for small dairymen like myself there have only been two periods in my farming career I have been able to take days off; firstly when my parents were fit and well before I was married and secondly now the next generation are capable enough to be left. The NFU does recognise this which is why consultation with members is so important. I was privileged to see the results of that post-referendum consultation (possibly the biggest consultation in UK farming history) and it has shaped the design of our asks of government. [/QUOTE]
