After all, it is far easier, and let's face it, far more fun to vote NO. It doesn't take any brainpower, and you get "cool" points for it.
The only thing that really matters is that if/when a ratified-by-the-MEC TA is presented to the membership for a vote, you read it, evaluate it, and vote per your evaluation of it.
If that is a NO--great! If that is a YES--great as well.
The people who are automatic NO voters, are equally as irritating as the automatic YES voters.
I've already heard the argument from one of these guys starting in with his time-value of money and incessant need for a quick contract, on time.
I mean, we don't even have a TA yet.
