| Document:Progress MP joins Unite's unwaged section for GenSec vote | blog post | 7 April 2017 | Joining Unite in order to participate in the General Secretary ballot is legitimate and some are known to have done so to support Len McCluskey. However, making a false declaration in order to do so ‘on the cheap’ is certainly not legitimate and such applications need to be rooted out and their votes invalidated. |
