It also asked my current voting intentions and asked if I was a member of the Labour Party (and if not do I want to join).
I think this is a very constructive way for a union's political fund to engage with member's and also let them know who their democratically elected lay leadership think is best for the job.
Yesterday I received by post ballot papers via UNISON and the Fabians - today I got another ballot paper from the Labour Housing Group (LHG). This makes 4 ballot paper's for the national Party leadership(Labour Party, Fabians, UNISON and LHG) and 5 for London Mayor (London Labour Party member; Co-operative Party, Fabians and UNISON Labour Link). I think this is it?
The LHG ballot paper makes me remember to do something about contacting Labour "housing people" locally about seeing if we can form a London branch of the Labour Housing Group. We need a stronger Labour Party voice on all forms of housing in London. We cannot let the hardline right win the battle of ideas on this core progressive issue.
