Numbers again - latest ballot

"Only 15% voted in favour with 85% finding no appeal in it at all" D Simpson Unite website

Statistics being used for support rather than illumination as a drunken man uses a lamp post.

The more I delve the worse it gets. Something like 50% of membership did not vote on the basis of BASSA's own membership numbers. This doesn't suggest 'no appeal at all' especially when previously anywhere between 70 and 90% voted 'against' BA. My guess is that BASSA's numbers are wildly overstated and have been for longer than they may care to admit, even to themselves.

Can anyone enlighten me?
