I will hold my hand up and say that on first reading, I was about to object to LB's post. Then I read it again - as, in my defence, I am wont to do - and realised that not only should I not protest his post, but should support it.

This will force people to join unions and vote if they feel that there is a relevant issue, rather than sit on the backs of others.
I guess there will be some who argue that this would infringe some right or other, but I can see exactly where LB would be going with this if he ruled the world. If you have an opinion, backed either by a union or you own wit, then you are obliged to express that opinion in a democratic process. Otherwise the 'answer' from any given ballot is largely bo11ocks, as I have hinted at in posts of my own.

Well said LB, my apologies for previous doubt.

Roger.
