If you cannot see the coercive element in the way the ballot paper was worded then that is your problem, not mine. Did you write it?
Wheeze, the dictionary definition of coerce is:-

EITHER to restrain or dominate by force
OR to compel to an act or choice
OR to achieve by force or threat.

None of these apply to the summary on my ballot form.

If I disagree with what the Committee think, I don’t believe that they are coercing me simply by honestly writing their beliefs down for me to see.

To think along those lines certainly is blinkered.
