It is of concern to everybody. In fairness to the committee, that is what it has recommended. It was accepted by other parties. That is the compromise as I see it, though obviously I do not agree with it and neither does anybody here. We have to listen. If that is what the committee recommended we cannot change it. However, the organisation can change to make sure that the changes happen. One way of not doing that is electing the president. That is the problem. That is why there has been no change.
