Iain, I agree with you on alot of your points.
But there are quite a few yes votes in the poll from people who I suspect voted a bit like me. Who didn't vote yes due to being registered for manchester, but because they are realistic about their chance of succeeding to a level required.
There are teams which stand out as contenders for the worlds, and it may be contrived and objectional to say this, but they are already registered for the champs.
It seems pointless to hash together another tourney that will have the same core result. And may be just as inaccessable to some as some are argueing the champs are.
As said, I agree with alot of the points in theory and lets make sure they are put into practice next year.
I know what I am saying is pretty defeatist and that pragmatism is by no means the best approach.
But I genuinely believe in what was said about the teams with a serious chance. And far from being negative, I see it as a reason for hope in the UKs chances, that there are those who are at a standard.
