South West Hertfordshire Labour Party register support for David Miliband (From Watford Observer)

According to the Labour Party Web Site individual members of both Watford CLP and South West Herts CLP are eligible to vote in the coming leadership election, whereas the Constituency Parties are not.

Thus support at local Party level for a particular candidate is meaningless; particularly so when most members are aware of this and consequently don't bother to register a preference at constituency level.

Perhaps Adam Binnie might ask each local party secretary what was the turn-out for these rather meaningless ballots?

Rumour has it that in Watford the percentile barely scraped into double figures

The only thing we know for sure is that the true result is due for declaration on September 25th. Until them any other opinion is just that and pure speculation to boot.

I for one can't wait. The Condems have had it far too easy for too long.

As certain local politico's will vouch, "Winning here" has a somewhat hollow ring.

Have you got nothing better to do than post this drivel which nobody cares about apart from the couple of dozen clp members you have.

Oh "Not very enlightened one" not very well informed are you?

For the record I am not a member of either Watford CLP or West Herts CLP. Consequently I have no idea how many members each actually has. A situation which doubtless you share.

However, judging by their political activity I do know that it is several fold more than the "couple of dozen" you claim. Hence the very close run thing in Central Ward last May.

Ok,but the first part of my reply still stands.
