If it was PDFORRA seeking improvements in living in accommodation would you be throwing that grenade into the debate? Officer accommodation is far from the top of RACO's priorities, all you have to do is look at it.
The Sam Browne issue was top of RDFRA's agenda and took up huge time at the conference. You can justify an accommodation issue on it merits, the Sam Browne issue was a trivial matter. It would be like RACO campaigning to have the red stripe taken off the Dress Uniform (which is poxy and most officers hate it). Anyone who would raise that would be laughed off the stage. There are far bigger fish to fry.
The fact that the Sam Browne issue was pursued so vigorously by RDFRA trivialised the organisation in the eyes of many and reinforced the perception that any issue raised by them was not to be taken seriously.
