When TreesaMayNot got in to be PM, a friend of mine, a loyal member of Momentum and the labour party and a union rep in his workplace, Joined the conservative party.

His words to me "I'm going to be one of them that's choosing the next Prime Minister" 

oppsing HOBSONS choice.

I also joined to choose the next PM, and everyone else could have done the same, as it was obvious it was soon going to happen.
Ive never voted Tory in my life. They are far too left wing for my liking. 
Im glad your friend and people like him have hijacked the Labour party as it seems pretty likely that they are well on the way to destroying the carcass of it, which will be a good thing.
Maybe the party that comes to the fore when the two big parties finally die, will genuinely be interested in the good of the whole country. We can only hope.

Here's a question, is it possible or even legal to be an active member of BOTH political parties AND a trade union?

Certainly not ethical

Bet that would pay well

Being an active member of both parties would be a bit odd, but illegal?
There are plenty of reasons to be a member of a union even if you're a conservative party member. It's required if you work in a closed shop.

Arent closed shops illegal now ? If they aren't they certainly should be.
