Parliament is elected to serve all, not just those who are union members.
All includes businesses, old age pensioners, children, weathly, poor, disabled etc etc.
Justifying "Labour" (with a big L) as the party of "labour" (little L) is indefensible - it then becomes only a sectional interest group.
Whether you support the policies they represent is a matter of opinion. Personally I am not clear what they are.
That Tories won the last election reflects Labours failure to communicate them convincingly - they are equally responsibility for Tory success. Sadly they are failing as an effective opposition (very much needed) despite the evident abuse of democratic process by Boris.
