I would like to thank each and everyone of you who recently supported me in my campaign for Treasurer of the Labour party.  I was overwhelmed to receive the support of over 41% of the membership and would like to extend a huge thank you to my campaign team who have worked tirelessly over the last weeks and months to speak to members the length and breadth of the country.

Apparently Jack Dromey has been re-elected as treasurer of the Labour party

In this wide-ranging interview to Compass Youth, Mark McDonald discusses why he feels there is a need for a new Treasurer of the Labour Party.

Contender for Labour Party Treasurer, Mark McDonald, has written this article on the Guardian's commentisfree site explaining why the party needs to raise it's game.

Please do take a look. From the comments, it seems to have attracted the attention of some people whose values are so twisted that they're considering voting Tory because Labour hasn't been left wing enough!

All CLPs and national affilated organisations have now been sent their NEC nomination forms, which include the position of Treasurer of the Labour Party. The editorial team at Labourhome.org is backing one of our own, Mark McDonald, a human rights barrister and former NUPE shop steward.

We're not just backing Mark to win, we need him to take a powerful mandate to the NEC to enable him to raise the bar on the party's compliance with its financial obligations.

So we're asking you, today, to email your CLP secretary, and your unions and affiliates, to ask them to nominate Mark for this position.

Readers may be aware that I am seeking nominations from CLPs, unions and affiliates for the position of Labour Party treasurer.

A correspondent on a previous Labourhome article suggested I post some details of my experience, so I have drawn together those details below. Please do get in touch if you are willing to support my candidacy or if you would like to ask me any further questions.

 

Many thanks,

 

Mark McDonald

Labourhome.org Editor Alex Hilton in December challenged the grassroots to find a candidate for the role of Treasurer of the Labour Party and I have decided to respond to that challenge. I believe that there is a need for change; not just a change in the position itself but a new approach to governance and accountability in the Labour Party.
