Well PW,
Go ahead and vote for Rod. If he's reelected, we will have a chat in two years time and see if anything has changed. I don't subscribe to the keep doing the same things and expect different results school of thought, but I hope I'm wrong and that you're right.
If you haven't worked with Rod personally, you don't really know. Do you? Relations with the other TUs will not improve with Rod in the room. That's a fact. Don't believe me? Ask others who would know from said TUs or even the HK GC. I fail to see why it would be any different in relations with the Company. Again, I hope I'm wrong...
