BillODrees is echoing what the activists are trying to promote – a democratising of the party. What they are failing to admit is it is a power grab by the unions, and there’s very dubious democratic processes involved in the whole power of affiliates (which are not a model of democracy) as they gain the deciding vote in decision making.

The changes will allow members to vote for their leader. Now Labour can have an open “leadership” process.
Vote:The members would relish an opportunity to choose between Cunliffe and Shearer/Robertson and whoever else want to take the responsibilities. Cunliffe is also a nice guy. It is now proven that Cunliffe is very very popular: that on top of his undoubted talent and ability to motivate large numbers of people.

…so Cunliffe gets 41% and asks for a leadership contest, which he might win with the help of the unions. But I’ve still got 49% support, so WE ask for another leadership contest…lets see who has got the most stamina.
Vote:November 18th, 2012 at 12:28 pm
RossM,
Not likely to happen. The 40% threshold only applies to beginning of term and mid-term tests (I think just these two, not annually.). In order to have an unscheduled challenge, 50% is required.
While mathematically possible, caucus members will think hard on how the general electorate is likely to perceive and respond to repeated challenges and is unlikely to immediately contest again.
