4/5 of the teams voted to have a team cut.... not the slightest bit surprised that hasn't changed.

Where did you get that from?
There are other voting members too (SA, NT, Tas, RUPA).

Does the team voting against the cut change depending on which team is planning to be cut?
It was reported that all of the Super Rugby franchises except the Force voted to cut a team early in the process (earlier this year?)...
I didn't think the Force got a vote anymore.
Why not? If you're right then it's Rugby WA
It was reported a few days ago that the Force would get to use the ARU Super voteI didn't think the Force got a vote anymore.

OK. I thought you were talking about from this meeting.
Clearly the resolution to stick with 5 teams failed, but nothing public about what the vote was.
Presumably there were very few votes to keep 5 teams.
ARU own the license at this current time. They must have been planning this way back when but we are tricksy over here and wrote an Alliance Agreement meaning they couldn't follow their dastardly plan to cut us.
Dunno why they didn't just knife the Rebels before selling to Cox. Silly ARU.
Dunno why they didn't just knife the Force instead of signing up on the Alliance Agreement
