    Having just watched the Sunday Politics show, it was interestin to hear Matthew Hancock once again raised the prospect of Ballots for strikes needing a 50% vote "for" the same, before they are deemed "legal".

    He should be careful what he calls for, because the vast majority of elected Politicos do not fulfill this criterion and as the old saying goes, "whats sause for the goose, is sauce for the gander!

    Good old Boris J, only got about 33% when elected London Mayor, so he's for the high jump straighaway, should like for like apply.

    The 1979 Scottish Referendum introduced the 40% rule for the turn-out …and it was called the dead man's vote because often than not the electoral register included the deceased so being in the grave effectively was a no vote.
