The post you are reporting:
Alexander, for the last time, the meeting was called by six of the towns electorate, as is their legal right, to call for a referendum on a question to be decided at that meeting. The meeting was conducted in an orderly way that allowed the PP to present their case for said referendum, had they gone into every detail the meeting would have gone on far longer than anyone would have wanted. When the motion was put for a vote, by a member of PP who happens to be a councillor. the law states that their can be no more discussion and a vote has to be taken. This was done, despite Vic's attempts to ignore the requirement even when it was explained to him, and more than the legally required ten of the electorate voted for a referendum.
DTC are legally obliged to organise, with the help of DDC, the referendum as called for at the meeting for 23rd March. It is not DTC's referendum, it is a referendum called for and by the electorate of Dover. Once called the referendum has to be held, that is the law, and once counted the results are made public. There is no legal obligation for anyone to pay any further attention to it, although a high turn out and large majority, one way or the other, will send a very clear message. Were the PP to wait until a decision is reached, if went in favour of DHB's proposal, DHB are ready and waiting to push ahead with the sale and it would be too late for any other option.
The motion as stated only calls for a no to the privatisation and transfer to the community, it does not call for the abolition of the royal charter nor specify how such transfer is to be achieved. The sole aim as stated in the question is to halt DHB's sale of the port business into private hands and open discussion on options to put the port into the hands of the local community.
As it stands at the moment the only option before the government is DHB's privatisation plan. If you are happy with that then continue, otherwise please do read what people are posting rather than just reading into it what you want to.
