It annoys me that he seems to think that he has a role in this. It is the FTSC members that choose their chairperson. Non members have no say in it, they are just observers. Period. ZC's are no exception.

A looong time ago, before I was elegible to vote, we had a similar law in The Netherlands. Didn't work.
Actually that law just required voters to show up at the voting station. They could stll refrain from voting.
