So as I understand it, the government thinks that a union should have to get a majority of all their members to vote in favour of strike action for the vote to have any validity. However, it’s absolutely fine for police commisioners to get in with a majority of the 10% who turned out.

Spoilt votes came a close third for Devon & Cornwall, (we had ten candidates in total, 4 ‘political’ ones and six independents, and spoilt papers beat three of the four ‘political’ candidates). The man that won only had twice as many votes as there were spoilt ballot papers, and only 4% of people that could have voted at all actually voted for him. Good lord. 🙁
