It's not a vote

Arrgh. I hope I am managing to express to Their Highnesses' secretary that the fact that I do not like or approve of the automated results-tallying software they used during her reign a few years back does not mean that I dislike/disapprove of her. It's my opinion that the Crown should read each person's written responses itself, or at least give the impression of having done so, not just look at a table that says "45 for, 10 against, 25 don't know candidate" in making its decisions.

O PIN ION. And I'm not the Queen. If I ever am, then policy will be made by my opinion - and not until then.

Duquesa I, who is the secretary, assures me that even when she used software for the process, the decisions were based on commentary -- but I do not recall there being any text boxes for furnishing same at the time.

I had not been aware til last night that They were considering again using a computer based tally, so have not yet written to TRH.

I never used the form as they asked for it anyway, and I always included commentary.

Ah, well.
