After a whole day of consulting on this, you should have done better than lumping the abstain option with the 'do nothing' option, the two being clearly different.

They would both result in no action taken, so it seemed sensible to put them together.

Thats like counting spoiled ballots in an election as counting for the existing party. The say 'I don't care' is not the same as saying 'I want no change'.

Option 4 makes sense to me, especially as those voting for the alternatives expect the volunteer technical people on this site to make the necessary changes. Perhaps in future people carrying out this kind of work could be paid by downsizer funds? If I was voting for changes I would have voted for just a list at the top, which wasn't available as an option.

Isn't that what option 1 was?

We can probably manage to -1 from 4 and +1 to 1 so it works out okay

No, I didn't intend to vote that way so it's fine. I just didn't read the poll options properly. Don't change your figures.

I see your point, but the people have who voted for that option must not care and not want change. It should have been worded better according to the action to be taken, rather than the feelings around that action as opposed to splitting the option.

Several posted to the discussion on this to say 'I don't care', and clicking a box is even less effort than that...
