This months Labour Party conference promises to be more interesting than in previous years as the Corbynista left having swept the National Executive elections, prepare to consolidate their grip on the party further.
Blythe Valley and Forest of Dean constituency parties are proposing motions demanding the return of "Clause 4", which was dumped in the Blair years as "being out of date" as Labour was turned into a party for the future. The Corbynistas want to turn the clock back and restore this staement to the party's aims and printed on every membership card:
To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service.
The ideological motive behind this move is to continue the process of turning Labour into a party of the hard left and will further alienate any remaining "modernisers".
The proposal is a constitutional amnedment which needs a years notice and will be voted on at the 2019 party conference.
Labour's "broad church" is to be dismantled. Momentum and other far-left activists will use this as a tool to help in theirdeselection purge of moderate MPs, a process already in motion against Labour's Jewish MP's.
Thousands of "old school" Labour members have quit or been driven out of the party since Corbyn came to power. The new intake are a mixture of the idealistic and naive along with nearly every disgruntled demonstrator and some far-left groups.
Most of the latter just don't know how to behave in meetings or on-line and are behind the hate campaigns against the "Blairite/red tory/Zionist" members of the party. Used to shouting down their opponents in the streets or on pickets they are deaf to alternative arguments.
Meanwhile Cardiff Labour Party have submitted the following motion calling for consultation about the proposed amendments to the Gender Recognition Act which is bound to cause a stir. Discussion may be stilted by the PC brigade who will probably call the movers "transphobes" or TERFs.
Labour conference runs from 23rd Sept to 26th Sept 2018.
