    Open selection would be a BIG advance towards democracy in the Labour Party,]. It is just not right that once nominated for candidacy and elected, an MP is more or less guaranteed a job for life if they represent a Labour safe seat. Such people rapidly become distanced from the constituency community they are sent to Parliament to represent, and better potential candidates are denied the opportunity to stand for political office. There would be far less careerism if MPs knew that they could be deselected at any time if perceived not to be doing their job by the costituency Labour Party and the local community of which they are a part. In addition to this, the present system undoubtedly favours the right wing of the Labour Party and is another way of denying power to the left and weakening its message.

    Open selection is a must for a truly open and transparent PPC selection process. My only concern is Regional Offices must adhere to and not effect the process to manufacture their preferred outcome

    We need to adopt open selection so that no candidate can think he has a job for life – if he does not represent the members wishes then he should be liable to de selection – however if he does represent his members in parliament then he will no doubt have nothing to fear from an open selection process.
