The Greatest Hits of the Nineties brigade wanted rid of Shadow Cabinet elections, and they wanted the new system of electing the Labour Leader.
In the latter case, being obsessed with The West Wing (I loved it, but I knew that it wasn't real), they expected something like an American primary.
Instead, however, they got something a lot more British.
Still, they continue to look to the Democratic National Committee for inspiration. This time, in the matter of voter suppression.
When Jeremy Corbyn wins, then it will be in the face of his enemies' having actively denied votes to 182,000 people.
They simply never sent out ballot papers to a further 60,000, and they blamed it on the computer or what have you.

Victory in the face of voter suppression on quite this scale will be completely and utterly astonishing.
On Saturday, though, that is what is going to happen.

Even Jim Crow never charged you the Poll Tax and then denied you a vote.
DeleteAnd Jim Crow ran the Democratic National Committee from 1876 to 1968
ReplyDeleteVoter suppression? Jim Crow? Nasty, nasty stuff from a bitter and twisted man.
