Surely their engagement with digital media is more than a token annual appearance from an RCVS employee?!

Doesn't anyone think we could, tailor a candidate collectively??

After all we represent the most vocal argumentative but ultimately caring and sensible group of vets in the profession and any contra opinion gets pretty soon squashed. [The thinking ones among us don't award red stars]

We've got a year to discuss it!!

Pity there isn't a single vetsurgeon.org candidate!!

I know this is an idea that regularly rears its head; but I don't see how, with the wide range of opinions held by contributors to the forums, one person could represent us all.

But there isn't a single vetsurgeon.org set of opinions!

Nice to hear it!

Not seen any signs that anyone was interested in Q&A other than here. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

[quote user="Bob Russell"]Interestingly it seems the RCVS election Q&A's seem to be via The Webinar Vet this year rather than on an open forum!

Did it get too heated here last year? Did candidates and the RCVS have too little control?[/quote]

Nope.

Last year, I invited all candidates to come and participate in the forums here.

This year, I'm going to do exactly the same!

The RCVS has never even tried to exercise any control over election discussions in these forums (over any discussions, actually). In fact, quite the reverse.
