I am not sure what happened with Philip but something did because he went from being a Councillor supportive of what was happening - as the records Gaz dug out show - until he failed to get re-elected and now seems on a campaign to block the things he was part of starting and challenge the results of the election. I'm not even actually clear what he is hoping to achieve - re-election? A change of the name to what? The name remaining the same despite him helping start the name change process? If I knew what his proposals were it might be different but he seems more focussed on what he doesn't want to be rather than what he does.
I think you're being somewhat simplistic and disingenuous. Philip has been pointing out the governance issues with CTC for some time - certainly long before the last election (an election where the nominations process frankly smells), as have many other members and former councillors. The process for changing the name of the organisation has been, at the best, opaque and shows that Council were not confident that they could convince the membership.
I hope that Philip succeeds in getting his whole poll of the club - but I doubt that the Chair or the Chief Executive will agree to the poll being overseen by the ERS - as they'd be too scared of losing.
