Defend LP Conference Policy

The Issue

We the undersigned members of the UK Labour Party -

Note

  • that no useful vaccine against COVID19 is likely before 2021 at the earliest
  • that the 2017 manifesto was acclaimed by 2017 conference
  • that conference has not had the opportunity to opine on the 2019 manifesto whatever its merits or otherwise

Believe

  • that Conference Policy can not and should not be overruled by the NEC, PLP or the NPF
  • that Conference is not going to meet before 2021 and many CLPs if not most will not, despite the availability of Zoom etc, be able to make decisions on policy
    that current Conference policy includes the 2017 manifesto

Call upon 

  • the NPF to bring forward proposals to build on current Conference Policy
  • the NEC, the PLP and the Leader and Deputy Leader to promote existing Conference Policy including the 2017 manifesto at every opportunity
  • all members to accept current democratically decided Conference Policy until changed by a subsequent Conference

(this was agreed by CLPD executive 30/05/2020)
