Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

I am yet to receive my paperwork, and I know the instructions & protocols seem to change every year, but surely, anybody appointing a proxy can direct their proxy to vote 'as they see fit' on any ballots taken at the meeting where they have not indicated a vote, which would thus include any votes tabled at the meeting such as a vote of (no) confidence?

 

I don't think it works like that. Even where the proxy has left everything blank, that's still a conscious decision they've made on those agenda points. Even if you could though, I suspect it wouldn't work as the chair tends to hold most proxies and unless specifically instructed otherwise, it's pretty inevitable he or she would wield those proxies against in such a vote.
