In this week's New Statesman, I argue that all minority shortlists would be a step backwards.

An alternative approach would seek to tackle barriers which candidates face across class, race and gender. Please share ideas about what that might mean in practice.

NEC elections - I am standing

Wiseman Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 09:16:56 PM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

Dear Colleagues
I am been pursuaded to seek nominations in the next three months for the NEC of the labour party.  I have had various positions within the party.  I am committed to the grassroots and trade union movement.  I also want the party to rengage with the electorate as well as its members.  We have a new leader of the party and we must pursaude him to follow traditional Labour party values.  We must follow a more trade union friendly agenda, after all they established the party with other affliliates.  I call for democratic change and more accountability within the party.  I call for a withdrawl from Iraq, a return to a publically run NHS and schools and the full implementation of the social chapter and Warwick Agreement.  I also am looking at climate change and the temporary workers directive as issues.
With Regards
