Rejected petition Allow new members of Labour Party to vote in the 2016 leadership election free

The NEC has decided to charge members of the Labour Party who joined after February 2016 £25 to exercise their democratic right to vote for their preferred leadership candidate. This is an outrage and an affront to democracy. Give back this vote to everyone who earned it by joining the Labour Party.

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.
