Renewing Labour

The Party is running an online consultation on Party renewal here: http://www.labour.org.uk/letstalkrenewinglabour

At the moment the comments are mainly whinging about how things are now rather than sharing best practice about how to build an active party.

There are lots of people out there who are proving that the national circumstances are not an insurmountable obstacle to building vibrant, election-winning local Labour Parties so please get posting here: http://www.labour.org.uk/letstalkrenewinglabour and share how to do it...

Peter it's a shame you have chosen to focus on an obscure argument about job titles when actually you have experience as a CLP Agent and running well-attended meetings and socials in Brownswood that might have usefully been shared.

I doubt more than a tiny fraction of the electorate know or care about Hazel's job title and how that post is elected or appointed. I don't necessarily disagree that Party Chair should be elected but it seemed rather odd to use a consultation about grassroots renewal to raise it.
