A week ago I asked if GB, in his capacity as Leader Party leader, was going to try and out-do his predecessor in creating fictional Labour Party positions. Kevin Maguire wrote here in the Daily Mirror of four Labour Party vice-chairs. Instead, the Labour Party website today announces the names of SIX MPs appointed as vice-chairs , plus a distinguished list of 14 MPs as Manifesto Groups (sic).
I don't want to be churlish, but I have developed a 'thing' about a lack of governance in general, and particularly in the Labour Party as membership has more than halved, money has been squandered, debt have piled up and due process has been abandoned. As a member of the Labour Party with a smidgin of e-literacy I have exercised my right to Comment here.
Establishing closer links between members of the PLP and Labour Party policy making might have positive outcomes for the Party's electoral prospects in future elections. But was this proposal put to the last meeting of the National Executive Committee? If not, what is the status of these people ?
Will the next meeting of the Labour Party NEC have the political courage to hold the new Leader and Deputy Leader to account about this? I am not sure, that is one of the reasons why I am standing for the National Constitutional Committee in an election that is due to take place at the 2007 Annual Conference.
