Voters get the option to vote for the party of their choice, the party sets the agenda.

Indeed they do young sir, in open elections. Internal voting within the Labour Party is controlled by Momentum. Those who count the vote control the party.

Internal voting is open to members.

Agreed but it is those who count the votes that have the power, similar to what happened to the Venezuelan model and still much loved by the party.

Re: Corbyn & Co Block Election Of National Policy Forum Chair

The whole point being made by the article was it didn't get to a vote. The election was postboned because the candidate supported by Momentum didn't look like winning. So far as the rest of it goes, I don't expect a sensible answer to my question from Joe or Purwell because would rather close the debate down.

I must say I'm surprised Julie can't see through the spin though. If Corbyn and Co ever get into power there are a few supporters in for a shock and a strong dose of reality.
