Can I remind everyone that there are two types of proxy vote (possibly three)
There is the proxy vote where you have been given the vote of another individual member. These are the ones which are causing the problems.
But there is also the proxy for an affiliated organisation. These should not have the same restrictions put on them as the individual exercising the vote is effectively the organisation at the meeting.
The third type could be parents. If a limit is put on proxies it would, I think, be unfair to limit them in the same way as 'normal' individuals.
