There was a vote on this in 2011? The electorate backed the current rules?

A vote like that comes around about as frequently as England World Cup semi final visits.

In-ger-land indeed.

And yes we are all sick of the B word - this one is a bit of an old joke in that depending on the media source you used everything bad was because of and everything good was despite (or vice-versa depending on your media source/pov)
