Labour Leadership Contest

Are you sure? It certainly was the case previously.

[Uncle Liam]

Emmmm, do you not need to be a member for a year to get voting rights?

[RABun]

100% cast iron sure... Expecting my voting papers soon...

Overall I am tempted to vote for her... It her vs David M as it stands... I like the fact that Abbott has done something other than politics in her life...

I think if Labour went lef then it is going to have to appeal to Lib Dem supporters more at the same time...

[oafc0000]

can you change your mind on the poll then? lol

[oafc0000]

Anyone ever get the feeling Pogo isn't actually a member

Will I get a vote if I join now?

Anyone joining the Labour Party before 8 September 2010 will be entitled to vote in the Leadership Election.

I know it used to be the case (with good reason I may add - nothing against you guys though).

And I'm sure Phil can verify that I'm a card carrying member. And Paultm.

Howev

[RABun]

I dont have a card or any of the stuff they were supposed to send me

Perhaps they ran out of money?

I'll vouch for you as a card carrying member. Id like to see a copy of oaf's mind.

Happy to show if you want me to scan it... Considering I lie about everything

[oafc0000]

Im not arsed one way or the other. It wasn't a serious comment. Scan me your bank statement if you like though

[llcoolphil]

Which one... Personal or business

[oafc0000]

Both

[glastofun]

Do you think she is electable though ? I think the whole school thing has compromised her...

[Pogues Mcgogues]

I may be phone-banking for Ed Miliband the night! I realy think everyone should vote for him (and Dianne Abbot second) because votes for 16, the living wage and a fairer taxation on the highest earners together with a high pay commision is desperatly needed!

Who here is from an affiliated Trade Union and is planning on voting in the election?

Yeah its desperately needed if you want to bankrupt the country and lose the next election. Employers will just leave the country if you raise tax for the rich - and, more importantly from an election point of view, its extremely unpopular amongst the middle classes ie those who decided the outcome of the election. Things are different outside the central belt bubble....

D Miiband seems to understand this the most and is far more appealing to the electorate than any of the other candidates. That is the way Labour should (and wil) vote. Labour has a decent opportunity all things considered. The coalition is potentially unstable. Pick the right candidate and they are set up for 2015.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

and what the f**k do the majority of 16 year olds know about politics? i don't see how that's desperately needed.

[Snufflebutt]

Wow, I didn't realise you were that kind of Liberal...

That's the same old tired argument that has been proven wrong so many times before. It was used against the NMW, against the £150,000 tax, etc etc etc!

Let's not forget that it was Labour who were the only ones in favour of the NMW and what happened in 1997? The country gave them the authority to have it introduced. People care more about equality in wage than you think.
