/>Our submission to Peter Hain’s Refounding Labour consultation – let us know your thoughts
As Labour’s national executive committee is all set to propose a path forward for reform of the Party, and with the announcement of Iain McNicol as Labour’s new general secretary, the Young Fabians today publish our submission to Peter Hain’s consultation on Labour Party reform.
Click here to read the submission.
The Young Fabian submission offers ideas on:
- New styles of campaigning and organisation
- Becoming a true national party
- Improving Labour’s policy-making process
- Innovations in YF member-led policy development
- Membership growth – and utilising Labour’s affiliates, like the Fabian Society
- Developing the highest quality CLPs
Young Fabians have been working on these issues for three years since our delegation to Ohio to campaign for Barack Obama. We published our ‘lessons learnt’ from the ground campaign shortly after our return. Last year we ran a member-led special project group called ‘Transforming our Party’, which built upon young people’s experiences with the Labour Party to develop ideas to revolutionise the way Labour functions.
You can read more about all this work here.
We wish Labour’s NEC well. But this is a responsibility for everyone with a stake in Labour’s – and the country’s future – from parliamentary leadership to brand new Young Fabian members. It is not an easy task, and will require both patience and a willingness to experiment. I for one believe we can do this.
Please let us know your thoughts on our submission, and the consultation more generally by leaving a comment below.
