BGD 6,385 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Richard Burgon is definitely one to watch, I'd support him as a successor to Corbyn in a few years time when he's got a bit more experience Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BGD 6,385 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Corbyn talking about mandatory reselection for all MPs after the 2018 boundary review... http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jeremy-corbyn-warns-labour-mps-8464235 Labour MPs face mandatory reselection battles before being to be allowed to fight under the party banner, Jeremy Corbyn signalled today. The current leader warned his warring backbenchers they could be ditched as candidates following a redrawing of constituency boundaries. The shock announcement came as Mr Corbyn kicked off his leadership campaign as rival Owen Smith bids to topple him in a divisive summer contest. MPs fear mandatory reselection will see hard-left activists loyal to the current party boss will try to oust them when the boundary review is published in 2018. Mr Corbyn said today: “There would be a full selection process in every constituency but the sitting MP... would have an opportunity to put their name forward. “So there will be a full and open selection process for every constituency Labour Party through the whole of the UK.” Blairites must be absolutely shitting themselves, they're actually going to be held accountable by their constituents Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Back to the "donkey in a red rosette" problem, MPs that were parachuted into safe Labour seats and barely spend any time in their constituencies but get elected because their constituents will never vote Tory. Of course that's all changing with the rise of UKIP so it's important to get real local candidates that care about the area and their constituents standing. If they're doing a good job for their constituents then they'll walk a reselection vote, I think it's rather telling that so many Blairite MPs are so terrified of reselection TBH... You're right in a way though, this is being held accountable by their local party rather than all their constituents as a whole Edited July 21, 2016 by BGD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Blairites already are calling it a purge At the end of the day the current MP will automatically be on the ballot and their CLP will make a democratic decision about whether they want them to continue to represent them in elections or not, more like a performance review than any Stalinist purge Mandatory reselection isn't actually that uncommon, the SNP and some other parties have it and the whole primary system in America is very similar. It can only be a good thing IMO, encouraging MPs to actually give a shit about their constituencies between elections rather than staying in the Westminster bubble. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolute joke, if he ever gets to become PM then I hope the military comes to our aid and oust the whole lot That is all you need to know to work out he is not fit to lead the country. But I hope he does win the leadership as he was voted in by the members and seems there are factions trying everything to get him out plus the party seems to deserve him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolute joke, if he ever gets to become PM then I hope the military comes to our aid and oust the whole lot He will never become the leader of the country as he wont listen to the concerns of ordinary working class folk regarding immigration and that was proved in the referendum were even strong labour working class area's took no notice of Corbyn and voted leave. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
