Make NEC honour Labour Party membership grounds and right to vote on leadership
Rejected
18 signatures
What the petition asks
Many have joined the Labour Party under grounds stated on the party's website that include ability to vote in leadership elections. The NEC has undermined these grounds and also disenfranchised the very people Labour claims to support due to the new fee and exclusion of recently joined party members
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Procedures for electing the leader of a political party are a matter for the party concerned, not the Government or Parliament.
