See Clause 4, paragraph 2 c and Clause 4 paragraph 3.
Labour Party Rules
This does not mean that i agree with his chosen course of action - it takes a certain kind of courage to be a rebel...  |
This is nothing to do with Labour Party Rules, its about representing the people put you in parliament to represent them. I remember back in 1990 during the Community Charge debate, our then MP Ken Hargreaves refused to toe the Party line, because it did untold harm to local people, just a shame Jones didn't have the bottle to do the same, I just hope his 30 pieces of silver are worth it
