Dr Hawker told us a majority was 50% +1.
A flaw in Adrians argument is that Dr Hawker et al agreed to sell it to us
in the first place. My impression from him was that he really believes in it
as does everyone else I have spoken to on the negotiating committee.
My theory is that they have spent too much time with the DOH and have (as
our victorian forebearers would say) 'gone native'.
Alternatively The DOH have Paul McKenna (TV Hypnotist) on their team.

I have this idea (naive perhaps) that deep down Hawker (& Co) knows that the
new contract is a load of crap, but he's under pressure to sell it to the
consultant body, and more importantly he's got to be seen to sell it to the
consultant body, on the Government's insistence. However this way, if the
contract's emphatically rejected, the Government can't turn round to the
CCSC and say "you didn't really sell it properly; let's try harder". Maybe
I'm being too kind and we may never know the truth on this one 'til Hawker
writes his memoirs in 15 years' time! What still amazes me however is that
we remain in the dark with respect to the voting constitution. Will a simple
majority suffice, or is a two-thirds majority required? Surely this must be
decided before the voting begins, not afterwards.
