Re: [RC] FEI and the system of voting - Elizabeth Walker
I agree, but since the system wasn't set up that way to start with, any attempt to change it now will fail. Most countries are not keen to give up power.
That's the major problem. Nations like USA, France, Germany have just one vote, same as Zimbabwe, Thailand, Peru... This without any segregation or anything vs these emerging countries.
The relative power of each nations should be proportional to the number of international riders it counts.
"Major equestrian federations including the USA, Sweden, Germany, New
Zealand, Australia and Ireland spoke passionately against the move at
the FEI's General Assembly in Copenhagen yesterday, but with many third
countries emerging in the sport with limited expertise in the
management of the soundness of top class competition horses, the
argument against was always going to be difficult to win."
