All you can do is set aside all the politics and shenanigans and vote on the proposal on its merits, and according to your conscience.. Every issue will have a winner and a loser – Hell will break loose when it wants to, regardless of what you do.
FYI: For anyone reading this who may be in any doubt, an abstention is not a vote, which may seem obvious but is critical in calculating special resolutions which are based on the percentages of people voting.
For instance, if there are 30 owners at a meeting and 23 of them vote for a special resolution and seven vote against, the resolution passes because that’s fewer than 25 percent voting against.
However, if three of the 30 abstain, the number of people voting is now 27 and the seven “nay” votes constitute more than 25 per cent. You could say that in a tight vote an abstention is a No and should be regarded as such. It is not a neutral decision.
