Whilst it is obvious to everyone (apart from UNITE/BASSA) that their goose is cooked, and that they have little support, and members are leaving in droves, it has the unfortunate effect that the only people left to vote in any new ballot, are the permanently delusional/terminally misled, who are also the ones likely to still vote "yes".
The more crew see the light and leave the union, the easier it gets for BASSA to get a mandate to continue their self destruction.
Crazy crazy world..
