But this still doesn't change the fact that Len McCluskey's Unite union is taking over the Labour Party".
It's a good thing (for Labour) that their supporters are too dumb to notice or understand !

"Let's ask what has changed since yesterday.
Will the unions still have the biggest vote at the (loony) conference? Yes.
Will they still be able to determine the party's policy? Yes.
Will they still have the decisive vote in voting for the Labour leader? Yes.
That is the fact. They own you lock, stock and block vote."

Maybe their unions dont have the "chip on their shoulder" mentality that ours do?
Our Unions are incapable of building anything - they want to bring everything down to the lowest possible demoninator.
These unions are rich and powerful - if they think they have the answers why dont THEY risk their money and start enterprises?

That Europe's postwar economic and industrial leader Germany has proven time and again. That cohesive unions are good things, while divisive aristocracies are historically bad for all societies.
I had a good friend whose father ran a huge corporation in Frankfurt and on visits over dinner he would explain the meetings he had with union bosses....there was none of the animosity we witness in the UK or USA...just everyone working out the best way in which they could all benefit...none of this "we bosses must become imensley rich and the workers will get the crumbs" type thinking...
