Ed wants individual members to choose whether they donate to the party though their union subs.
Unions will have their influence reduced. Good. If it wasn't for them pigeon-holing Ed to the leadership, Labour would have a leader that would have torn this shabby Government to shreds. What have the unions got with their Ed. A leader about as electable as Kinnock, and reduced influence in how the party is run, and who gets selected to fight seats.
You reap what you sow. And this from someone who has been a member of a union for over 20 years. Still really angry with them in getting the wrong Milliband in.
