Well, you might ask what percentage of those eligible to vote in any
election vote for a particular party.

About 70% of the electorate turn out and the one who gets the most (not
necessarily the majority) wins.

And this for the most important job - running the country. So why all the
drama about a minor thing like a union?

It always seems strange to me that politicians find it wrong when
there's not an absolute majority for industrial action - yet happily
take their seat when very very few - if any - have had the majority
voting for them.

Not comparable situations IMO

Indeed. What goes on between a company and its workforce should be left to
them.
