Affiliation with a political party is not necessary for social unionism to increase the chances of winning favourable legislation. Ad hoc lobbying, as mentioned in option C, can also be effective. Similarly, option D is not a necessary condition for affiliation with a political party. However, option B is true because political parties with direct union ties are more likely to consistently enact social unionism policies. Option E may also be true, but it is not as necessary as option B.
