You will not be able to change anything, 50% is elected every three years
and many of the incumbents are automatically elected unopposed.
They are convinced that the majority of the profession would want to agree
to A thus there is no option for 'non of the above'
The poll letters have already gone to the printers, they will start arriving
on Monday

GPC - Turning the Tanker Can we?
Sorry for cross-posting, but active discussions on EMIS and GP-UK list at
the moment.
There seems to be quite a number on both lists who think the proposed ballot
is about as democratic as a fixed communist election. So, Fay & Trefor, how
can we set about making our voices heard at the GPC? Who are the best peopl
for us to e-mail and who will consider our e-mails and take action?
What does this governement have to do to us before we take action? We have
no rise in expenses for 3 years whilst costs escalate, and no sign of any
payrise. We get numerous unilateral changes in the contract (can we
unilaterally change it by the way?). Now we get this fiasco with Extended
hours. How do we get the GPC to ask the grassroots GPs if they wish to
reject option A with a view to re-negotiating the contract. If HMG then say
no negotiations, then it is surely time for war.
Recently on Radio 4 someone from the GPC wasted the whole segment arguing
that they were in touch with and representing the GPs. Th interviewer at the
time was implying that many GPs actually favoured the extended hours
arrangement (GPC seemed to be arguing that we were opposed to the
reccomendations and they were representing us with this view. Now we get
news of the proposed ballot, and it would seem to me that they do not give a
monkeys what our views are, and hence cannot possibly be representing us.
So Fay & Trefor again I ask - how can we turn this tanker? I refuse to add
'Super' as a prefixe
