Why dodgy-sounding?

So the thing that I still cant work out with the ACTUs current campaign against the Howard Government is: what do the 33% of unionists who voted for John Howard in 2004 think about it? Its true that organisations sometimes make decisions that arent supported by all of their members, but one-third really is quite a lot.

This seems to beg a pretty obvious answer to me. The 33% probably think, at a wild guess, that 67%, or a two-thirds majority, of their colleagues disagree with them. That’s democracy. Who ever thought that what the underwhelming minority thought was the obvious question? How many voted against the Howard government, again? When am I to be interviewed by Andrew Leigh, under the heading of the “obvious question”.

Meanwhile, I’m wondering, unobviously, what the 67% think of the 33% of their colleagues who voted for John Howard. We have to do all the hard yakka, while you bludgers vote however you bloody like, undermining us from the political level. What’s your problem? Tell ya, solidarity has its disappointments.
