A year or so ago the Labour Party amended its rules and made a vote in their leadership election available to anybody for the price of a cheese sandwich.
A large number of people took up that offer when a new leadership election was announced. Some senior members in the party (including some of the candidates in the election) are now aghast because it seems those who invested their three quid might swing the election in a way they do not fancy.
Seriously, you could not make it up.

The Labour Party still retains the right to turn away people they deem unsuitable. Thst does NOT mean supporters of Jeremy Corbyn per se, but people who plainly do not have the party's interests at heart. No matter who they support. But it's s pretty hopeless task as far as I can see.
Then you get people like Jeremy Hardy - complaining that they have been turned away unfairly. Hardy voted Green at the last election but now wants to 'come home' to Labour. Let him join the party then, rather than attempt to muscle in on the cheap. As I said before, no matter who wins, the whole process has been devalued by the system. And I cannot see, for that reason, the winner having much credibility with the party never mind the electorate

come on Canary, you wouldn't begrudge us a bit of Labour bashing. After all for the last 2 years you and your anti British friends have been telling us how your man was going to thrash Dave. farrier, even changed his name because he could not live with the loss, so I don't apologise for Labour bashing. Get ready for a lot more of it now I've paid my £3.
The "£3.00 to vote" scheme was clearly absurd; however, as I understand it, part of the signing-up process involved stating that you "support the Labour party". Consequently, anyone who did sign up, despite being anti-Labour, is by definition a self-confessed liar.
Indeed, if I were ever for personal gain to 'add my signature' to a document I knew to be false, I would consider myself to be a perjurer. (Personal gain can mean political as well as financial advantage. Sadly, however, any sense of honour is largely a thing of the past.)
