Perhaps it’s my ‘militant’ aura that brings out the inner socialist in others but I am not hearing a lot of love for the ‘Yes’ vote.
Maybe you are not listening to the right vibes, or looking at the big picture? Of course there is no love for the YES vote. I have no desire to vote for a reduction in the t's and c's of my chosen career, when, through no fault of my own or my colleagues we find ourselves working in an industry that not only recieves zero support from our own government and the unelected quango government of the continent we live in, but actully has those governments actively sabotaging any attempt at recovery of our industry and the economy at large.
Given any choice at all there is no way I would vote for something that is obviously going to significantly reduce my earnings and increase my work over my career.
HOWEVER, I do not have a choice. The alternative is 100% gauranteed to be worse. I have no guarantee that BA express won't happen in the future anyway, I have no guarantee that all the other bad things won't happen in the future, but if I vote NO, I guarantee they happen now.
We are sliding down the hill fast, the only aim of the game now is to dig the anchors in and reduce the rate of descent. Hopefully at some point in the future there will be a means to climb the hill again, but despite all the militancy on here from certain people, such an opportuninty DOES NOT EXIST right now.
As I see it the choices are:
vote 'yes' - stay in the game, play defence, hopefully get our own 'powerplay' opportunity in the future.
Vote 'no' - leave the game entirely, have no say in the future outcome, apart from as spectators. And just like all spectators, we can splutter and swear and shout and be full of rightious indignation, but actually have zero ability to influence the outcome of the game.
