"hi hev, if you don't vote or nominate a proxy the company can use you votes anyway they choose."
That is not true. The only time the votes can be used at the discretion of the company is when someone does vote and gives the proxy to the Chairman (or other company person) and does not specify the way them want their vote exercised. Shareholders who do not vote simply let their voting rights lapse, for the use of no one.
