It seems that Corbyn wants to let members decide on the Shadow Cabinet and key policies.
On the surface, this is designed to be more democratic but the reality is that it’s less democratic. The UK has a parliamentary democracy and elegible voters elect MPs in accordance with party manifestos. MPs are elected to consider the interests of all the people not just some of the people. Also there’s a technical challenge being an MP with enormous reading of diverse materials and analysis. The idea that a digital survey of members could replace the expertise of MPs is a nonsense and a hypocrisy.
For me, Corbyn’s Labour Party both deserves and needs to be dismembered. Democracy is about representing all the people fairly not the chosen few.

As Dr Alf knows this ragbag of people will never form a Government so in the end a new centre left grouping will have to emerge.
