NT accused of losing sight of mission with 'anti-democratic' vote

‘It is not interested in our national heritage, it appears to want to be a political party’

THE National Trust has infuriated protesters by introducing a new voting system which they say favours candidates who support its allegedly woke agenda in upcoming elections for its decision-making council.

Restore Trust has slammed the NT's use of the Quick Vote system as "antidemocratic" and has warned like-minded members not to use it.

The group has found five distinguished and knowledgeable candidates willing to rebel against the Trust's identity politics and stand for election.

But the protest group's leader Dr Cornelia van der Poll, an Oxford University lecturer in ancient Greek, has said the NT's Quick Vote system, which allows block voting in favour of candidates recommended by the Trust, is fixed in favour of those compliant to its progressive views.
