      I'd believe that if the people being excluded had any electoral success but there aren't many SSP, SWP, Green, etc politicians.

      that's not what it is. We don't allow people to vote in our leadership election who aren't supporters. Not especially unusual.

      well if you register to vote and you shouldn't have; you're unlikely to go "oh aye you're right, I'm not a supporter"

      I just don't get why folk would go thru all the hassle of becoming a member of a political party if they didn't actually support it 🤔

      both candidates will vote Labour whether they win or lose. If you can't say that about yourself, you shouldn't have a vote in it

      I dunno what this means really. Are u saying Labour folk won't vote labour if Corbyn isn't elected? Cos that's telling in my opinion 😕

      no I'm saying that applies to most of the people being "purged" as you call it. So they're not Labour supporters.

          so all these people tweeting, filling my TL with RTs etc are at it? Just "claiming" to support Labour? To what end tho? Why pretend?

          for most of them you just have to have a wee scroll back to see for yourself that they don't
