I support the rule-change motion on the open selection of Labour Party parliamentary candidates proposed by Labour International CLP in 2017 and discussed at Labour Party Annual Conference in 2018.

I call upon the NEC to propose a rule change for Open Selection on its own initiative for the next Labour Conference

Open Selection should have been debated and passed at Conference last year, but the open selection motions which had been submitted by CLPs over a year before were stopped from reaching the conference floor, and were undemocratically replaced with a motion cobbled together by the fortyone or so members of Labour’s National Executive Committee the night before. This, and a certain undemocratic union block vote on conference floor, blocked Open Selection for a further three years. On hearing that news, I immediately resigned my Unite membership. And why did the NEC and Unite the Union behave in this undemocratic way, ignoring the wishes of the majority? The words “gravy train” come to mind, but of course I could be wrong!

Our candidates that we work to elect, work for us. If you don’t want to be accountable, step down and fight a by election for TInGe.
