HYPOCRISY?
The sour faced millionaire minister Francis Maude has been criticizing UNISON's mandate to strike on the 30th November due to what he says was a low voting turnout. The percentage of members who voted to strike is very close to the percentage of the electorate that elected the present government.

I should, of course, have pointed out in my earlier response that Maude got only 37% of his TOTAL electorate. The "over 50%" referred only to those who bothered to vote at all. Clearly, he should not be an MP if 40%, say, were deemed to be the acceptable voting figure. So, yes, certainly hypocrisy if "do unto others" is of any relevance!
