We do need to see a truly representative cross- section of our society in our political parties.
Posh boys vs flat capped “horny handed sons of toil” is a cliche which still resonates for some.
So I am glad to see those who choose to fight from within, although I have every sympathy also for those who can simply take no more and walk away.

No, she explains very clearly in her interview that she intends to fight from within - good for her.

There's been much discussion on GN about allegations of LP anti-semitism; I would be interested to hear what people think of islamophobia in CP:

"But Baroness Warsi, who was the UK's first female Muslim cabinet minister, has said her party had "turned a blind eye" to prejudice and become "institutionally Islamophobic".

She suggested the "rot had set in" several years ago and accused senior party officials of being "in denial" and presiding over an "opaque" complaints process." (BBC)
