Are there any statistics for % of affiliated TU members that are women, versus number taking part in nominations? The issue of course with these nominations - both types - is that they are FPTP and the 2nd and 3rd preferences will be crucial. Jack Dromey spoke for Harman at the Manchester Central Hustings and pointed out her responsibility for equality improvements and in the LP journey from unelectable to now. I'm a littel surprised that Hazey got some and Harrie none. But FPTP is no guide for an exhaustive transferring situation which is to come under OMOV.

Oh come off it, Blears isn't still in play, she's finished! If it wasn't for the joke that is Hain, she'd be a derisory last!
It's over, Lukeypants!

Anonymous 2:36pm: you are as deluded as Luke. These nominations have little bearing on what happens next.
Obviously supporters who appear to be doing well will be bigging bits of this up and vice versa.
But now finally the grass roots get to vote. If 5% of LP members took part in nominations where there were any I'd be surprised. And loads of CLPs didn't nominate. The same sort of thing applies to the TUs.
Anyone relying too much on any of this is gaga. The PLP are the only part of the college that has had a high turn out - but even there quite a bit was tactical and actual votes (and MEP, MSP, AM votes) could be quite different.
Perhaps even influenced by live hustings, TV and media management which have followed their nominations.
Hazel is not going to be in my top two btw ... I'm not siding with Luke. That'd be a turn up for the books, though it has happened before.

Chris is spot on; these results are not as significant as all that. It's not as if the TU executives have actually consulted their members about who they should vote for!
Does anyone know, will we know how the actual votes within the TU block split between unions, or do we just get totals? It would be interesting to see if there is a corelation between the nominations now and the actual votes of the membership!

is there a list of which CLPs nominated who anywhere?

"is there a list of which CLPs nominated who anywhere? "
yes, go on Labour website
http://www.labour.org.uk/leadership/candidates
click on candidates names and go down after the MPs nominations

All nominations are listed on the Party website.
My understanding is that the union vote is counted in agregate i.e. not weighted by size of affiliation, so smaller unions with higher turnouts could end up having more weight than low turnout bif unions.

Luke is right about how the vote works.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that fact that over half of the CLPs didn't bother to nominate says it all......

I love the way anonymous party apparatchiks occasionally dip into this blog with points of information!

Hain and Blears are finished. Cruddas is doing well, but I think Johnson will ultimately win unfortunately.
