Against the motion: 55
Abstentions: 7

Mosley got the result he believed he would get. The vote shows the vast majority of the FIA member clubs does not feel Mosley’s private life has any effect on his work as FIA president. The future will show whether that is the case or not …

I join the opinion of Bernie, he’s not the right one to meet with organizers, promoters, royal families or government presidents or somebody equal. Should they feel comfortable to treat with somebody which organized such a scandal?…

I agree with Bernie and Kotenot as well here. I did expect him to get the confidence vote, but I was hoping he wouldn’t. I would not have any interest in negoting with someone I had limited respect for and trust in and the Mosley scandal has caused him to loose both.

People had mixed reaction with the result..Some thought it was unfair to punish Mosley for his personal life.
But I’m with the fact that if you’re publicly undesirable, you’re in a weak position to lead. Just like Kotenok and Ben mentioned- people who felt uncomfortable and disrespectful are going to be a tough crowd to work with.
