See here for a rule change the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy is supporting to make the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) accountable to Labour Party Conference.
If adopted, this rule change would require the PLP to report directly to the conference, including on MPs’ discipline, with the conference able to confirm or reject disciplinary decisions that are of concern to delegates.

"There are many reasons why our Party should continue to fully support First-Past-The-Post, and reject the entreaties of those pressing for Proportional Representation. In the North West in the Euros, we had a very clear lesson as to the damage PR does to Labour. Under FPTP we had 10 out of 10 MEPs. Under PR we went down to only two MEPs and a far right/neo fascist was elected MEP. I joined the Labour Party because I believe it offers the best way forward for the mass of the people. That obviously means winning the maximum number of seats,not losing seats!" CLPD strongly believes that Annual Conference must endorse First-Past-The-Post. Failure to do this will give a huge boost to the Far Right, to the discredited Lib Dems and to the non-socialist Greens.Andrew Gwynne MP
