I can't vote in council. The only coercive role I can play is voting for two councillors in my ward. If a similar argument was used I wouldn't be entitled to know what happens in council. As a non-voting member I wouldn't 'have the right to the information'.

Anyway by the end of tonight we should know who will be representing Labour at the next election between a choice of George, Claire and Graham.

It's an internal Labour Party vote Andrew. Also I don't know who you've been getting the information off concerning the shortlist, but their wrong.
