Good mechanism. But, instant responses are not always well considered. An overwhelming rejection by the HA members who responded is not really surprising, but it is disappointing. A better response is more nuanced and balanced - as shown by the excellent discussion on this list. Any HA response to the consultation based on this instant gut reaction, though understandable, will simply be ignored by a government that is on a completely different wavelength.

Great to have such an instant response mechanism though ...
