They can't handle the coalition in their own party in an adult manner. Which I suppose goes some way to explaining their terror of democratic voting procedures.

@lionelb There was an interesting comment with the article suggesting that they broke party rules. I don’t know whether this is incorrect, not being a debt of the party and currently not arsed to check on people and statute, but this is interesting.

But just look at that rule. Every faction of the Labour Party is mired in procedural points, position capture, resolutions, sponsors, working groups.

The bureaucratic virus is deeply embedded in their political DNA. Winning the position always substitutes for winning the argument, whether left, centre or right.

@lionelb The ‘position’ of course allows them to drive the party in the way they wish without reference to their members.

80% of them support PR. That counts for absolutely nothing.
