Scene to read · Equity, Professionalism
One branch, one vote?
You are the council chair of a regional model railway federation, setting tonight's agenda before the meeting begins.
In the federation's conference room, Flavia represents the branch with sixty members and Florence represents the branch with six. Each branch has one council vote, and a fee increase is on tonight's agenda. As chair, you decide whether to table the weighted-voting proposal.
The scene
Flavia: Sixty members pay most of this increase, yet get one vote. Unfair.
Florence: Weighted votes mean our six members never win, silenced on every question.
Flavia: Put it on tonight's agenda before the fee vote; let everyone decide.
Florence: Or table it until every branch studies it. Chair, which option?
The two questions
- 1What would you do about the weighted-voting proposal, and what would you say to Flavia and Florence?
- 2How should a group decide between giving every member group an equal voice and giving larger groups more say?
