"I've stated my points, and you've stated yours (ad nauseam). So let's wait and see if your side gets 10 percent...which I predict you will. You can then declare victory, and we'll go backwards from there as we proceed to a bitter EGM vote."
I think this debate has been useful. I would like to see the 10% achieved as I feel the membership has to then tackle the issues the funding raises. I will not proclaim that as a victory. I am a bit uncomfortable with the "your side" comment, because should this actually come to a vote, I have purposefully kept an open mind and have no idea as to which way I would vote.
Experience has shown an apathetic turnout for AOA votes, so any vote will be determined by the wording and the subsequent 50 or 66% majority required. Should funding be denied or endorsed by an apathetic vote I wont be on here claiming a victory... in fact it will be a further endorsement for the "You get the Union you deserve" brigade...
