A voting rule helped my proposal win after I criticised it last year. Should I still seek a review?
PoliticsTwo proxy forms tipped our civic association's vote towards supporting a town-festival grant. I was relieved. Then I remembered what I'd said about proxies when they helped defeat a proposal I favoured last year.
Our written rules permit them. My earlier objection was that a proxy holder might miss arguments made during the meeting. I haven't stopped thinking that; it simply felt less urgent when the forms helped my preferred result.
A friend says reopening the rule now would undermine the decision we just made. I don't want to pretend the permitted votes were invalid or take away another member's vote after the event. I do want a rule I can defend when I lose as well as when I win.
How can I ask for a review of future voting arrangements without turning it into an attempt to rewrite this result?
