Those proposals required at least 40% of registered members of the union to have voted for a proposal, in this case the vote for Brexit comprised only 37.4% of the electorate. Under those proposals for TU reform, even if nobody had voted for Remain, the vote for Brexit would have been deemed to have failed. Whilst I can't agree with the TU reform package, I felt at the time that a decision of this magnitude should have required a majority of the electorate to vote for a change rather than merely a majority of those who could be bothered to vote. But the government would be extremely foolish to impose preconditions that they themselves would fail to have been elected under! Didn’t stop them trying it on for the Unions. And when has being extremely foolish been a problem for politicians? ;-) Which takes us back nicely to Donald Trump.... |
