Always remember the not the nine o'clock news sketch 5 unions leaders sat around the table in discussion waiter came in coffee or tea sirs 4 voted for tea, and the biggest membership union leader guy voted coffee by hands up in the air - so Coffee it is then , they replied to the waiter lolThe old Soviet Union only ever had one name on ballot sheets. They used to boast about having votes in favour of 99.6% I think the other .4% ended up in the Gulag.

It was so much easier to understand under the old rules when the MPs, constituency members and affiliated unions all had a third each
The final leadership election is one person one vote be they members or affiliated supporters . So exactly it’s democratic.
So if you are a member of one of the affiliated unions you can register to vote? I can't imagine the unions themselves only getting one vote each when they previously controlled one third.The final leadership election is one person one vote be they members or affiliated supporters .
