Question How about voting "NO" and then leaving Unite?

I'm one of the disillusioned Unite CC members.

I have also been banned from CF as I asked a few questions and questioned Unite's actions / non actions.

I will be withdrawing my Membership.

But before that I would like to vote "NO" as I think every "NO" vote will be valuable if we want to make (or try to make) a difference. So I don't want to waste this opportunity.

I have some questions that some of you might know the answers to.

If I vote "NO" and withdraw my membership the day after, what would be the consequences? Will Unite know who I was and not take my "NO" into account?
Would that make strike "illegal" as in theory I wouldn't be a member any more?

Another thought:

Regardless of what I vote for, if I'm on days off / leave / sick / maternity during the strike, how would BA know which way I voted? This is to do with who they'd take the ST benefits away from if not everyobody.
