Comment:

This is a pretty clear cut result. It is also the right result in my view.

I really wonder what the 30% who want ‘opt-out’ are thinking. Maybe they could let us all know in a comment? I am not sure why anyone thinks one should not be able to opt-out of using a system that may not serve your interests or needs.

Again, many thanks to all those who voted

David.
