Tory MP: Strike vote threshold can't be justified
A TORY MP admitted yesterday that he couldn’t justify Prime Minister David Cameron’s strike vote thresholds when MPs are elected with less than 50 per cent support.
Alec Shelbrooke said he did not support Mr Cameron’s proposals in a Radio 4 Today programme debate with TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady.
The Elmet and Rothwell MP was speaking on behalf of the union-bashing Trade Union Reform Campaign group of Tory MPs that includes Thatcher-worshippers Liam Fox, Matthew Hancock and Dominic Raab.
