Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Vintage Paw]

They extended the deadline because a shit-ton of people never received their ballot. Chase it up, chase it up again, and then chase it up once more.

I've not had mine yet, they say they can't find me on the Electoral Register so I've e-mailed them again.

On another thread two posters got their voting email yesterday. Voted. Then got their purge email.

 

[scifisam]

I'm not getting to vote due to living in Tower Hamlets and having to triple-verify everything after the vote is in (I've moved since I last registered so have to do it all again).

Oddly my flatmate who doesn't support Corbyn (but not Smith either, so doesn't know what to do) was accepted without question. I didn't give them my Facebook or twitter details or anything but they can search by my email username.

Will their votes be counted though?

Cos Labour aren't conducting the election, the ERS are. Surely ERS can't accept Labour sending them a list "oh by the way, these people you sent ballot papers to? yeah they not eligible anymore (and they voted Corbyn)"

I am wondering that. I voted straight away after I got the ballot just in case I got purged. I have been on Owen Smith's case ever since and quite publicly accused him of being an Blairite arse goblin.

I was told in my purge letter that my vote wouldn't count

I have just changed my email address on Facebook. Didn't know you could still search for people via email address!

 

[timeforanother]

It is only a week to go. They can't chuck people out fast enough, and soon we get a more balanced NEC

I think you can turn it off in privacy settings.

More balanced but still not majority pro-Corbyn

More balanced but still not majority pro-Corbyn

It will be after they take their places after the conference. The six corbyn bloc that were voted in ousted the Luke Akeshite types and will form the majority.

 

[two sheds]

They weren't replacing 6 anti-Corbynites were they though? I'd though it only made 3 or 4 difference.

 

[killer b]

Four of them were already on.

 

[two sheds]

2 difference then?

From here - John McDonnell 'furious' over Labour list of Corbyn detractors - I liked this little snippet:

Watson made clear he accepted the apology, and insisted he had never abused Corbyn. “I was a bit surprised by it,” he told House magazine. "I’ve never personally abused Jeremy in public"

just been reported on Daily Politics that Aaron Banks is now certain to set up a RW Momentum aimed at labour/ex labour voters.

so is this election also for the NEC?

I don't really understand how they are elected?

NEC elections were a few weeks ago, you could vote for 6 possible candidate, and all 6 pro Corbyn were elected.

the NEC has several different sections, only a small number of whom are elected by the members. That election was last month, and the momentum backed slate won all 6 places which were up. They only join the NEC after conference though.

So how many pro-corbyn vs anti-corbyn members will there be on the NEC at the end of all this?

 

[killer b]

Not sure. Here's the current list though - it's easy enough to tot up who's pro and anti from the ones you know, I'd imagine the other members will be googleable.

Of those, Baxter, Reeves (I think) and one of the councillor reps are out. Not sure how the election of the other reps is arranged, some of them might well be changing too.

No - never personally and in public. Either/or not being denied.
