Well, at the moment the IFA says it has 2000 members of a probable 7000 strong workforce (assuming charitably that all members of the IFA are in the workforce) - something like 29% , very much the minority. I had an exchange with Troll on another thread where I suggested as 1man1desk does that the IFA needs more members to give it the clought to make meaningful change, but the reasonable response was that the IFA has lost some members because of its passive nature in certain debates. The unit where I used to work now only has one IFA member out of eight - whats the balance like elsewhere?
