Join the Labour Party Today: Choose the Leadership Deputy Leader



Join Labour HERE by 1 June 2007 and you can cast a vote in the Leadership and Deputy Leadership contests.

For students it was £1 a year last time I looked.

For unwaged and levy paying affiliate members the cost is just £1 per month = £12 per year. For waged it is £3 per month = £36 per year.

What a farce. The supine PLP has decide there'll be no leadership election but, instead, a new Big Brother will be installed by the inner party.
Call yourselves democrats? Laugh! That's one of the reason that I left 4 years ago.

I'm a democrat matey. You not capable of spotting irony? The idea that you left at the time of the Iraq War because the rulebook on the election of leader is poor - well c'mon, don't make me laugh! You can use your own name you know? Don't be shy.

anonymous. so what are you doing now to promote the cause of the disadvantaged and those in need. You found a really good party to join that doesn't have any faults at all? let us all know.

Chris, who would bother. I hope those who joined expecting a vote on the leadership have asked for their money back.I would.......I am seriously considering leaving the Party but probably won't, if only because revenge is best served cold.....See Compass website for some seriously pissed off people......

Chris Paul said...

I'll get over to Compass later ... may even give them a ragging myself ... though I expected no better. They are clowns.

This post calling for people to join to vote for DL is supposed to be dripping with irony. I did warn the Gen Sec and Treasurer yesterday that the Gordon shoo-in was going to be bad for business ... but whatever.

Perhaps that's a good sign? Personality before party finaces before policy. Only kidding Gordon.

1. Alan Johnson
2. Alan Johnson
3. Alan Johnson
4. Alan Johnson
5. Alan Johnson
6. Alan Johnson

Vote now for your choice...

Chris Paul said...

What about Alan Johnson Jailhouse? Isn't he a local MP up your way? I whould get him on your list the cheeky cockney chappy that he is.

jailhouselawyer said...

I hadn't realised that he was until the local rag mentioned that he was the front runner.

Statistically, I would have thought that the odds were against two Deputy Dawgs in a row coming from Hull.

Chris Paul said...

Certainly. he is not really the front runner in any meaningful sense. The MPs votes ranging from just under 50 to 70 are all in the range of about 4% to about 6% of the total college. Not a huge lead to go on the road with.

And we still don't know what the winner wins:

Deputy Leader - tick
DPM - perhaps not
Chair - perhaps

Pretty meaningless except in terms of some kind of job and salary security, er, possibly.
