By Garry Heath | 2 July 2016 | 147 comments

The Party Board recommends setting back the date of the leadership declaration to 9th September

The 1922 Committee advised that the race end a week earlier.

By Mark Wallace | 28 June 2016 | 10 comments

The 1922 Committee’s Executive has decided the next Party leader will be elected by 2nd September

The Executive also chose to reject proposals to extend the shortlist, or to require that it include a female candidate.

Roughly a quarter have confidence, and much the same proportion don’t know.

Andrew Kennedy: Political parties. The age of mass membership may be over. But that of mass participation may be just beginning.

We now know more about the Feldman Review’s proposals for merging Associations, and it’s quite troubling

Associations may be wholly merged, rather than simply band together while maintaining control of their own resources.

By Mark Wallace | 2 March 2016 | 47 comments

Downing Street underestimated Conservative opposition to Remain. Is is underestimating opposition to the Feldman Review?

A key issue is CCHQ’s plan to merge all Associations into larger federations.

By Paul Goodman | 25 February 2016 | 47 comments

How Trump (and Corbyn) could kill off the democratic reform of the Party

Fear of the fate that is set to befall the Republicans – the same that befell Labour last year – is hobbling the prospects for the Feldman review.
