Up the bum - no babies!!!
Oh it's just a pisstake - I'm pretty much expecting Corbyn to crack on with calmly dismantling this latest piece of 'policy' tomorrow, once he's had a nice cup of tea and a bit of a sit down. 
Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

One on one? You're crazy.
How has that worked out for you ?

Yipchaa!
Either the meeting was over or it wasn't. Even if you're not dealing with underhand shitbags trying to stab you in the back at every turn, anyone who's been to any kind of meeting knows there's always chatter and AOB.
Wait until the chair calls an end to the meeting, everyone is out of the room, the lights are off and the door is locked.

tomorrow belongs to me
Bit cheeky considering people were told explicitly
That's pretty clear cut breach of contract from were I'm sitting. They've taken peoples money and all of a sudden the very thing they were advertising has been withdrawn. No sign of any small print to the contrary .
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
They can wriggle out on the specifics, or in this case the lack thereof, can't they? It doesn't say immediately, it doesn't say every leadership election.
"You'll be eligible to vote in (some) leadership elections (once you have been a member for 6 months)." No-one will take it seriously, but I don't know if they're in to much actual trouble from that route.

then again, this is apparently in the rules, so perhaps it was last summer that was the exception?
Isn't that in regard of the selection of candidates rather than the election of officers (including the party leader)?

Ta for that, have taken a screenshot and if NEC doesn't overturn the decision I shall explore it with the local CLP

Hmmm:
Section 2 shall consist of a vote of all
eligible individual members of the party
on the basis of one member one vote.
This ballot shall take place on a national
basis and shall be counted and recorded
as an aggregate vote broken down by
CLP. Eligible members shall be those
currently on the national membership
list who are endorsed and have not
lapsed from membership.

Weight is meaningless
If the rebels were right in the first place when moaning about there being an "exodus" of "centrists" from the party going on in the initial months after Corbyn took over while lots of pro-Corbyn types joined then regardless of the new members being excluded they'll be shit out of luck with the vote.
Edit: Poor old Robert Webb, he's now left tacitly defending dictatorship since he quit the party in the aftermath of Corbyn's original victory

Same as 2013 anyway... This is for elections to public office. Not quite sure what that means (see below), but is a separate section from election of national officers... Public officials:
Chapter 5
Selections, rights and
responsibilities of
candidates for elected
public office
To be read in conjunction with selection procedures set
out in the appendices to these rules.
A right of Labour Party membership includes the
opportunity to select candidates for public office in an
area where the NEC determines that a CLP shall be
established, at every level – local, regional, national and
European. Core principles shall apply to these selections
that will enable members to select Labour Party
candidates representative of our society who can
uphold the highest standards of probity and integrity in
public life.

There used to be a poster on this site who was a member of the SPGP. He/she disappeared years ago.Are there any other political parties who have wanted to dissuade new members from joining so much ?
I dunno maybe they should only give prospective members full status if they pass an exam or something...

I think it would be haggling over the details of contract law. The prominence of the notice that you can 'vote in membership elections' vs the unlikelihood of reading the entire rulebook would be likely to swing it I think. Though again it's law and there are so many specialisms and exceptions that a general knowledge of the law of contract is basically worthless.

It would be rather unusual to have a job for which either union would be appropriate
