We believe that the confusion indicated here is inherent in the concept of Ideas remaining open for voting while they are being actioned – once a democratic vote is over it is final and the consequences of the vote must be carried out.

If all ideas were kept open to gauge further support then no action would ever be possible and student ideas would have failed its’ purpose.
