Welsh Assembly Leadership Elections (EDM71)

Welsh Assembly Leadership Elections

EDM number 71 in 1998-99, proposed by Nigel Evans on 02/12/1998.

That this House welcomes the election of Rod Richards as leader of the Conservative candidates in Wales; congratulates the Conservative Party for democratically electing the leader in Wales by the one member one vote system; notes by contrast the parachuting in of the Secretary of State for Wales as the favoured candidate of the Prime Minister; deplores the rigged system of voting to elect the Labour leader which denies the use of a fair one member one vote system; further notes the Secretary of State for Wales' comments of 30th November, Official Report, column 639, that 'every member of the Labour Party will have a vote in the selection of the leader of the Labour party in Wales'; but regrets the fact that the unions and the honourable Members and candidates will be able to outvote the wishes of the ordinary rank and file members.

This motion has been signed by a total of 59 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
