That's different again: representative democracy. We didn't vote on Iraq, but those who did, were put in a position to vote by us, to cast votes on our behalf.

There's nothing representative about the workings of the trade union movement. They're single-interest pressure groups, pure and simple, and need to stop carrying on as if they are deserving of the level of political and economic influence that they clearly feel entitled to.
