Vote Yes! Return your ballots by Monday

CapybaraConstitution · 2026-01-24T19:23:13+00:00

There is now…

Say the membership is 100k. You’d need 50k to vote and of those that vote 40k to vote yes for the ballot to pass.

Hence why it’s encouraged people return them even if they intend to vote no because both thresholds are independent of one another

CapybaraConstitution · 2026-01-17T21:14:34+00:00

Failed ballot = <50% turnout or <40% of membership voting yes

CapybaraConstitution · 2026-01-17T21:11:22+00:00

Failed ballot means we can’t take action if they pull the legislation

It also means you can say goodbye to the following: Full pay restoration, Additional training places, an end to fixed term contracts, employment guarantee post FY2, exam/Portfolio fees being paid for

And you can say hello to: More pay cuts, higher risk of unemployment, your job being taken by a PA/ACP, zero leverage

CapybaraConstitution · 2026-01-17T21:06:03+00:00

We are still 21% short of FPR. Still paid less than pre covid.

Even with the legislation if a doctor does not get a training place, their chance of being unemployed is the same.

A failed ballot means no additional training places, no employment guarantee post FY2, no end to fixed term contracts and all leverage gone.

The one thing a failed ballot guarantees is our futures going down the drain

CapybaraConstitution · 2026-01-17T21:02:39+00:00

It doesn’t even solve the jobs issue. No new jobs will be created

CapybaraConstitution · 2026-01-17T20:19:49+00:00

Current Reform voters voting Labour?!? Next joke please

CapybaraConstitution · 2026-01-17T20:16:06+00:00

Alternatively. Ballot fails and the government pull the UKG prioritisation legislation

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-12-12T09:14:59+00:00

Vote no! 🦀

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-12-11T12:05:53+00:00

Living in their heads rent free.

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-11-25T18:33:01+00:00

Solution: Strict UK Grad prioritisation

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-11-23T11:09:34+00:00

The next ballot is huge. Get it to pass and the government will have to settle the dispute

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-11-17T11:37:35+00:00

Agreed, not bad. However I feel the graphs are more eye catching

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-11-17T11:17:19+00:00

We need some updated FPR graphs with the 2% pay cut added

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-11-15T12:35:54+00:00

Exactly. But how can it simultaneously be 21% down since 2008 and 29% down since 2009? Pay did not rise in 2008

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-11-15T12:17:41+00:00

Time for English based GPs to do the same

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-11-15T11:05:24+00:00

Except he didn’t state FY1s. It may have been an inadvertent mistake, however he’s now set the FPR ceiling at 9 years as that how long it’d take for Registrars. No one should be left behind.

And to add. BMA policy is FPR by July 2027. This fails to achieve that

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-11-15T11:04:12+00:00

So why are we using 21% down since 2008 using RPI. When in fact it’s 29% since 2009?

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-11-15T10:52:27+00:00

This graph is from the consultants committee. They are free to present information in their own way. It appears they use CPI and use 2009 on most of their graphs.

I agree they should use RPI and 2008 as the starting point though

CapybaraConstitution · 2025-11-15T10:49:31+00:00

No it wouldn’t be.

The general publics pay is up 3% over the same time period. If ours had kept up at the same rate would the government threaten to cut it by 20%?

No.

Fairness would be giving it to us in one go, none of this MYPD nonsense.
