> The Central Executive Committee will no longer have special seats reserved for MPs

This is critical. How the does anyone arguing for MPs to have special status think Labour got hijacked by centre-right liberals FFS?!

> Dual membership with the greens will be possible

Great strategy. This will allow people to join the party they feel most aligned with, even if the other one has the most effective ground game where they live, and it's strategically wiser to join in on that.

@ErikUden I voted against dual membership because I see political party membership as a binary choice. If it is voted in, and the decision will be made by the membership not conference, then so be it. One of the things that I like about #YourParty is the baking in of democratic principals from the start.

PS I'm enjoying your commentary on the conference.

Now, while I see that the media is using statements by Corbyn and Zultana to claim the conference itself was a disaster, I must very much disagree. In a conference of 4000 people, only one person needed to be removed for heckling, which was also the only incident. While people had differing opinions and sometimes strongly expressed them, they were still very kind to one another afterwards.

I get that it's not a good sign when big figures like the two party's founders are indirectly carrying out a public fight, however, most of the people I spoke to don't care. They have clear opinions on certain motions which sometimes very much align with either Corbyn or Zultana, but I've not met a singular member that would call themselves to be on either side. Ideologically, sure, but not as in wanting to stick with one and being to exclude the other. I also don't think that either Zarah Sultana or Jeremy Corbyn really have a disdain for one another.

The energy is full of excitement, but that always leaves room for heat. Heated debates. Heated statements. Many actions in the heat of the moment. While a harmonious conference would appear nicer on television, with the importance of this historic event, at a global turning point like this, I can only understand why things sometimes go south. #YourParty
