Strikes are happening, apparently, because of the "return of the far left". For example, one paper referred to the number of strike ballots at the Post Office since left-winger Billy Hayes "seized control of the union". But I can go further and reveal the sinister strategy used to seize control. Step 1 was to stand for election, using the undercover pseudonym "Billy Hayes". Step 2 was to get more "votes" than the other candidate, after which he was able to declare himself the so-called "winner". Much in the same way that Tony Blair seized control of the British Parliament.
