don't union members pay subs to the unions, who in turn pay subs to the labour party and for those subs can vote as an affiliate member?

No, subs go to the union and stay with the union. it would be illegal for subs to go to the Labour Party.

Union members can, if they wish, also pay into a seperate fund some of which goes towards funding the labour party.

This is how UNISON Opperate the system

personally, i don't pay into the affiliated fund.

I thought the affiliated unions funded the labour party. is that not correct?

correct.

Holy crap, how did I miss this!?!?!

Feedy's spent hours denying he said this:

I was making a statement that the unions asked their members to pay £3 and join Labour and vote for Corbyn so that a union friendly politician could lead their party. The plan worked.

no I did not. I've said all along that the unions wanted corbyn and that the unions wanted their members to vote in the forthcoming election (for Corbyn).

It's there in black and white. You said the unions asked members to vote for Corbyn.

Which has been shown not to be true.

And you've failed to back it up with evidence.

repeating the same thing over and over doesn't make it true. i still can't see what is contradictory. which statements are you saying are untrue

1. the unions wants corbyn; or

2. the unions wanted their members to vote in the labour election and vote for corbyn

1 is wrong - only some unions backed Corbyn

It's the ASKING amembers to vote Corbyn that Feedy has totally ****ed up on

how did I? The unions that wanted Corbyn actively encouraged their members to vote and ensured that it was as easy as possible for them to vote.

It's either that or you're telling me I should basically ignore the content of your posts.

Those unions also made it clear that their preferred choice was Corbyn

Could just be the ultimate whoosh

Yet didn't ever ask them to vote for Corbyn

Christ, don't give him ideas, he'll use that.

No, subs go to the union and stay with the union. it would be illegal for subs to go to the Labour Party.

Union members can, if they wish, also pay into a seperate fund some of which goes towards funding the labour party.

This is how UNISON Opperate the system

personally, i don't pay into the affiliated fund.

I thought the affiliated unions funded the labour party. is that not correct?

if it is, then the subs from the members which fund the unions are used to fund the labour party. unless the unions have others sources of funding other than members subs.

cheers. how do the unions fund the labour party then? is this entirely from affiliated funds?

I think we are at cross purposes here Archie. I am saying the members fund the unions and the unions fund the labour party. Have i got that wrong?

thanks
