Following the election of Len McCluskey, the Left has consolidated its control of the union in elections to its executive. United Left, which promotes a socialist agenda within Unite and backed Len McCluskey, has won forty of the 59 places so far declared on the 65 seat executive. A further four places were won by candidates backed by Unite Now, a group based mainly amongst former Amicus members which also backed Len McCluskey.
The Grassroots left, who supported Respect (and ex-SWP) member Jerry Hicks for General Secretary failed to win any seats on the NEC, although they did achieve 23,192 votes which, given the turnout, is comparable with the 22% vote Jerry Hicks received for General Secretary. Ten seats were uncontested, and where elections were held, turnout was rather lower than the 16% who voted in the election of General Secretary — ranging from 4.7% to 10.9%.
