No-one gets involved in mass organisations any more. From sunday league teams to the church to political parties to charities, all have declining support. This will not turn it around. This also seems like a way to gerrymander money to Labour through the unions. Therefore I suggest no more union modernisation funding slushed straight back to Labour, and unions forced to ask political affilation of union members and donate any political support according to these numbers. Why should a lib dem, or even tory union member fund the labout party. Just a couple of things. No-one gets involved in mass organisations any more.
