Neither are representative of the British public, you know that.
At the moment you could consider me a conservative ( not always been the case) but would I join the Conservative party……….No……..or any party for that matter.
I have worked everyday (not “every day” for the pedants but you know what I mean) of my life since I was 17, and never joined a union (although I was pressured to when I was young). I don’t doubt their importance over history, but in my lifetime I’ve considered them a bit of a racket. They may have a resurgence.
Any attempt to align politically motivated groups as representative of the population is tosh. The vast majority of the population are in the centre, only think about it every 5 years and will vote for whoever is not the biggest knobhead.
