Not strictly true mate, there is a subtle difference between a PROXY vote and a POSTAL vote. The POSTAL vote is decided by the voter and is made at a time when all of the arguments may not have been heard, a PROXY vote on the other hand is a way for the non-attending voter to request that someone casts a vote on their behalf after the discussions have been heard.
Thanks for pointing that out, it’s a bad choice of words on my part: I used “proxy” rather than “postal”.
I stand to be corrected, but was it actually discretionary PROXY votes that brought her down or confirmed POSTAL votes? Despite my mistaken choice of word I thought it was the latter.
