It’s first past the post, majority wins, majority of voters that is. NON voters are not NO voters.
Unfortunately I’m not within reach of a copy of the Standard so can’t read the exact content of the story myself; they don’t seem to have it on their web site.
I would imagine that the Electoral Reform Society would be rather upset if an official of either BA or the union suggested they were privy to information prior to the official count, they are rather big on doing voting right – it’s their thing as it were!
The story may be someone’s view on the result rather than their knowledge of it – I hope.
