A radical manifesto – want to have a say?

STLPBy Peter Kenyon

Save the Labour Party (STLP) has been pressing for members to have a say in Labour Party policy-making ever since a LabOUR Commission/YouGov poll in 2006 showed over 90% of respondents expected to have a voice.

With reports this week that the cabinet have agreed to set out a ‘radical‘ Manifesto, the question now arises: will members and the wider public whose votes Labour needs to win have any say in the matter?

To find out, STLP has designed a very short questionnaire to gauge members’ views about the outcome, the role of policy, member involvement and on-going commitment to the Labour Party – whatever the result of the 2010 general election. It has been piloted in a handful of CLPs.

The results are being shared with the Labour Party. Believe it or not, a fresh round of consultation was announced yesterday to constituency Labour Party National Policy Forum representatives. So, maybe, it’s not too late.
