I am one of those feeling the process happened too fast, and at the same time I voted 7 as my first choice. I disagree with your conclusion. Seems it is directly tied to your interpretation that 7 somewhat equals 8, which I also don't share: I can only read 7 as "We shall not formally act as organisation on this topic, only defer action to individuals", and 8 as "We shall do something else than presented on this ballot". I. e. to me 7 and 8 are quite different: Only 7 is a closure, and only 8 is an indication of "we ned more time". Or rephrased: Wanting more time to prepare ballot options is to me quite different from rejecting all closure options presented on the ballot by voting for the non-closure option. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
