You can't be that livid about a threshold for strike action. It was becoming ridiculous during the coalition era. The stats show two thirds of strike ballots didn't get the support of half the workforce and some strikes during the last government went ahead with 1 in 10 workers in favour. You can't be pro strikes when (a) less than half the workforce turns up to vote and (b) of those that do, less than half are in favour of action. As aggi says, the nasty Tories line is hopeless. Also hoping people choke just for exercising their right to vote is a tad strong. This is a democracy champ, and the people have spoken, whether you or I agree with it!
