> They're pretty unpopular here. I was explaining why a British person might call them goons. Yeah, no. We must be living in different countries. There are lots of large, powerful, popular British unions in a wide variety of industries. |

The Labour party have been ineffective for a decade and haven't been less popular since 1935. They're at their least popular when their leadership is more aligned to the unions. They were at the most recent popularity when they were furthest from the unions. They have just one representative now in Scotland, once a key area for unions.

If you're a fan of unionisation in the UK then I'd say you have cause for concern.
