Louise LocockDelighted to hear the #RestoreTrust candidates for the #NationalTrust council were all defeated today. What a relief. Record turnout, apparently.
The gap between the votes for the lowest of the elected #NationalTrust council members and the highest #RestoreTrust challenger was nearly 30,000 votes.
Gabriele Pollara@ProfLouiseL oh thank goodness - so they didn't even get close?!
@gpollara Nope - though their proposal to remove the 'quick vote' system was defeated by a much narrower margin, 9k votes in it. Still need constant vigilance to get the vote out every year to stop them.
@ProfLouiseL thank you. Really dislike the desire of these people to politicise everything. Worry is that over time they want to disrupt and takeover more than those content with status quo.
