This year’s Labour Party conference has the chance to take an historic step in democratising the party. Such a move will not only set the Labour Party on the road to greater electoral success, it will also lay the foundations for a shift in the balance of power in the country.
Labour is now the biggest left-of-centre political party in Europe and has considerably more members than every other political party in the UK put together. Labour’s members are the eyes, ears and voice of our movement.
The last 40 years have seen power being siphoned from the democratic political sphere into the unaccountable corporate sphere. Public services and utilities have been used as a cash cow to generate private profit. The casualties of this approach have been the workers in these sectors, who have been forced to accept inferior terms and conditions of employment and the quality service provided has invariably suffered too.
