Labour and trade union activists have set up a "Task Force" to campaign for Labour Party democracy over the coming months of the official "review of party structure" decided by the Labour Party conference in October.
At present, the "review" is configured as a stitch-up. Labour Party HQ will collect "submissions" between now and June 2011, and then the Joint Policy Committee (a body dominated by Shadow ministers) will draft a report to be presented to Labour Party conference 2011, probably on a take-it-or-leave-it basis.
The Task Force will be campaigning for a more open review, and also to get key rule changes which already have wide union and CLP support - like the right for conference to amend National Policy Forum documents, or vote on them in parts - onto the agenda in 2011.
