Unite First Executive Council Elections: Anyone heard of any of these people?

GMB. We don't even have a bloody Broad Left.

But those which hold power (especially in the T&G) didn't cover themselves in glory during the Labour leadership election last year.

Agreed. I fought long and hard for John McDonnell; lobbying on his behalf in Parliament; as well as travelling around the country in an attempt to muster support. The T&G BL did actually endorse John McDonnell's campaign in a meeting in Birmingham in February 2007; however, the GEC BL supporters bottled out when it came to the executive council.

This kind of thing musnt be allowed to happen again.

T&G 35 to 40
Amicus 23 to 40

Is there an argument here for a T&G chair instead of Steve Davison (which seems to be the pre arrangement)??

In Region 4 32'270 ballot forms were sent out

4334 were returned

Pat Oliver got 2'593 votes

Aside from being Simpsons pawn, I've heard Davison does not have the intellectual rigour to actually Chair meetings of such magnitude.
