MODEL MOTION - Let The Members Decide

• This CLP notes the Labour Party’s constitution states it is a ‘democratic socialist party’ (Clause IV).
• This CLP further notes that Keir Starmer stated in February 2020: ‘The selections for Labour candidates needs to be more democratic, and we should end NEC impositions of candidates. Local party members should select their candidates for every election.’
• This CLP agrees with this statement, and strongly believes that it should be the democratic right of constituency members to choose their prospective candidates.
• With regards to the selection of Parliamentary candidates, this CLP notes concern across our movement at the imposition of shortlists and/or the exclusion of popular local and trade-union backed candidates in numerous constituencies.
• This CLP calls on the NEC to confirm that the selection of candidates is the democratic right of local Labour Party members and must be upheld.
