have been the law for some 30 years now?

yes and that's why I believe in secret ballots beign done the way the
are now. Because a person can be intimidted either way to raise or not
raise your hand for any vote.

Take the miners. A hard and dangerous job. But they are easily intimidated
by a few militants.

You are so naive.
Does this ring true to you, dave?

Would you personally be easy to intimidate by a few when surrounded by
your pals?

The intimidation takes palace before any ballot or show of hands. Miners
were an extremely loyal group, something which was nurtured and
respected by Gormley but taken for granted and abuse by Scargill
Of course your experience is limited to the comfy world of the BBC.
