You see people that the truth of the matter is that although you are all galant whilst in the group environment when you settle down on your own the sensible logic returns.
There are but a handful of radicals amoungst you who love to dance in the spotlight and beat their chests. The rest merely suffer their display. The radicals will always be radicals but the rest go away and make their own decisions away from the influence of the showmen.
Then when the EBA gets voted in the showmen scream "RIGGED" but in actual fact the showmans dance has been to no avail and they have merely made asses of themselves. The truth of the matter is that the sensible ones have ignored the showmen andt look at them and snigger. With all your ranting and raving in the end we the sensible ones have stitch you up behind your back. We support you in public but stab you in private. Hence the reason for private polls were people are not influenced by the dancing hairy chest beaters.
Life then goes on to another EBA hopefully negotiated by sensible men. In the meantime get used to this one.
