Weekly Survey: Entryism, purges, and electoral strategy

have your say ll (long)

We now know that over 3,000 people have so far been blocked from voting in the Labour leadership contest. However, some who have found out they will not be able to cast a ballot feel they have been rejected unfairly, while on social media other non-Labour supporters boast that they have voted.

Which do you think is the bigger problem? 

Last week, Jeremy Corbyn appeared to suggest that Labour should concentrate on enthusing non-voters into action in order to win in 2020. However, the Fabian Society says its research shows that Labour should prioritise winning over voters who supported the Conservatives in May.

While it is possible to appeal to both, which group do you think Labour should prioritise winning support from?

Ballots in the Labour leadership contest have now been out for over a week. Most believe that the majority of votes will be cast within the first few days.

Have you voted in the leadership contest yet?

Our weekly survey will be open until noon on Thursday. You can vote here.
