  The sad reality for those of us on the left is the last thing these two Ed's (always think of the talking horse when I type that) are is "red" in any political sense of the word.
  
  Labour ceased to be a socialist party when Blair tore the soul out of the constitution, he tried to turn it into a Social Democratic Party and sort of got there, his successors have continued the Blair drift to the centre and if anything it is now a great example of a European Centrist/Moderate party. Whilst they are happy to take the unions money, particularly as individual membership and subs have dwindled, they no longer share the same agenda and in fact often do not share the same intellectual or political platform. If unions want to see the left genuinely back in the house they may well need to start their own party all over again.
