Good for you, Bob. I wouldn't dream of calling you naive. Unfortunately, the rules were not drawn up for you personally and I wonder how many other branch chairmen are themselves unaware that candidates for their region are on more than one shortlist? Also, it's not the duty of branch chairmen to advise members who to vote for, or to expend branch resources correcting deficiencies in the way the election is run.
