This result arises from a lack of leadership. No recommendation from the Executive to either accept or reject left members confused. In dodging its responsibilities the leadership has now been delivered a huge headache by its members who have knocked the ball straight back into the Executive's court. It's a repeat of the RCN result. They are now damned whichever way they go. The Executive is elected to lead. If this was the best deal that could be negotiated and it was clear (wasn't it?) that members had no appetite for industrial action, then there should have been an honest recommendation to accept the realities of what had been acheived.
