As I implied in my last post, I'm not interested in joining any political party as I regard them all with contempt. I was making a point about the way politicians can't give us a straight answer anymore.

However, if the Labour party is as mundane as you imply, perhaps I should join...I could do with a bit of boredom after the last few weeks! ;)

Whatever the Labour Party is, mundane it certainly isn't. I agree with the last bit. Hasn't been easy being a Stanley fan over the last few weeks. Not good for the stress levels

Whilst it is perfectly allowable for the rest of the population of Hyndburn to speculate and discuss the merits of who the person that is chosen as the PPC for the Labour Party. They do not have any 'god given' right to the information.
It's not about having a 'right' to the information. It's about an open transparent democracy rather than keeping information from people because they've not coughed up the membership fee.

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.

After what I saw last night I know one of them that does not deserve to be picked.

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.

It is with great pleasure (as chair of the Hyndburn Parliamentary Labour Party) I have the great honour of announcing that the Labour Party's Prospective Parliamentary candidate is Graham Jones.

On the first ballot he had over 50% of the votes.

I read posts like this for interest only; but I do have a question: will there be any other candidates in Hyndburn? Will there be a BNP candidate? Or an independent? Or someone from a revived Rhinoceros Party?

There's 3 at the moment Eric, Labour, Tory who have yet to select a candidate,and Kevin Logan who has posted on here a few times.

There will be others no doubt who will throw their hat in the ring as the election gets closer. The UKIP party stood last time, so they could well put a candidate forward. Maybe the BNP who knows

Christian Party - Kevin Logan
English Democrats - Chris Read
UKIP - highly likely
BNP - mmm maybe not this time?
Liberal - may not either
Green - highly likely
Independent - possibility

Labour must be scraping the bottom of the barrel. After his continual petty squabbling with andrewb and his edited posts describing all Tories as a shower of manure this is one vote Labour won't be getting.
