unfortunately that is very true.
The DF surveyed why site archaeologists didn't vote in the last IfA elections, the main reasons were that there were no 'suitable candidates', and that 'it wouldn't change anything' anyway. Well this year at least there have been candidates who are prepared to stand for Diggers' rights and will be trying to change things. And that has been exactly the same in the past. One of the main reasons why the DF doesn't call for a resolution at AGM to increase minima is that we can't rely on the hundreds of our members who say they want increased wages to actually vote (in person or by proxy) for it.
