I would also like to know how many percent voted for a strike, I am hoping is would be 85% plus.

wasnt it way over 90% voted yes for an official ballot in the first place ?
people dont vote for ballots they intend to vote "no" to. I expect a high number over 80% yes

The consultative Ballot - No there was no official question on whether there should be a ballot or not. However with results from 92% to 99% they'd be mad not to go for it.

However, to back the CWU in a consultative ballot is relatively easy, but some people get nervous when asked the question directly as they may have to back their choice up with action. Even more bottle it when it comes to actually taking the action, thats why the figures for those striking rarely match the numbers that voted for it.

However, if we do strike ignore RMs official figures as they said last time that so many offices were working normally when they weren't. They also included people who had gone of sick, on annual leave or just on their normal day off as working properly.
