Rejected petition Make NEC honour Labour Party membership grounds and right to vote on leadership

Many have joined the Labour Party under grounds stated on the party's website that include ability to vote in leadership elections. The NEC has undermined these grounds and also disenfranchised the very people Labour claims to support due to the new fee and exclusion of recently joined party members

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Procedures for electing the leader of a political party are a matter for the party concerned, not the Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
