The Refounding Labour exercise was an utter democratic disgrace which produced a change in a quarter of the rules of the Labour Party without its democratic roots even getting site of what was to be plonked on Conference. It was an act of democratic centralism that any Stalinist would have been proud of, as can been seen in the Stalinist sytle vote it was rushed through on. Few delegates had any idea of what was going on. No wonder the members are focused on other things, they don't know what happened.
