The "no" voters tend just not to vote. That's when the problem arises.


Given everything these days is done by postal voting, that's up to them.

Yes it is, but at the same time decisions to take strike action
especially in the public sector is a matter in which we all have an
interest.

A responsible trade union leadership should be concerned as to why for
example such a small proportion of their membership bothers to vote on
an issue such as their pension which according to the union leadership
is of such vital importance.
