It's nice first thing on a Monday morning to find oneself described as shrunken and aged 😏. More seriously, my point is that it is only in fairly recent times that party memberships of Labour and Conservatives have taken on these leadership electing roles. IMHO that's a constitutional abomination, but so long as it's in place then I will continue to maintain my membership. There are millions of people for whom the cost would not be material and the more who join one or other of the major parties to keep them grounded, the better.
I’m shrunken and aged too, if it’s any consolation.
