Go Fourth operates as a Labour Party campaign to help reelect a Labour government for a fourth term.

I only wanted to leave a comment on John's Blog.

However, in order to leave a comment there is a requirement to register...

"Join the fight

If you're committed to fighting for a Labour fourth term then come and join Go Fourth.

This is YOUR campaign and we want to offer you as many different opportunities as possible to get involved and play your part.

You'll receive a weekly email on our campaign, details on what's happening in your region and things you can do to help Labour and beat the Tories.

It's completely free to join and you don't have to be a Labour Party member.

Just fill out the following details. We promise not to send them on to any other organisation".

Therefore, If you're [not] committed to fighting for a Labour fourth term then Go Fourth and multiply.

Apart from this pathetic either you're for us or against us primary school playground mentality, the blog does refer to Site policies (plural) and in fact only has a singular policy, namely "Go Fourth operates as a Labour Party campaign to help reelect a Labour government for a fourth term".

When the Labour Party starts pressing the issue of convicted prisoners and the franchise, I might consider supporting a Labour government fourth term.

Until then...

Gone Fishing.

UPDATE:

It appears that JP is not against universal suffrage, ie, one person one vote.

"Prescott held various posts in Labour's Shadow Cabinet, but his career was secured by an impassioned closing speech in the debate at the Labour Party Conference in 1993 on the introduction of "one member, one vote" elections for the party leadership that helped swing the vote in favour of this reform. Prescott became deputy leader with the first leadership vote under the new system following the death of John Smith in 1994".

And in relation to prisoners right to vote in the European Election for MEPs why is Prezza dodging this issue like he dodged the draft for National Service? Especially given his position here "Following his resignation, it was announced that he would take over from Tony Lloyd as the lead UK representative in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe".

And, Richard Corbett MEP states he supports prisoners and the vote and adds "By the way, the European Court of Human Rights does not come within my locus standi as an MEP because, as I am sure you know, the ECHR has nothing to do with the European Union but is attached to the wider Council of Europe. The Council of Europe has its own Parliamentary Assembly composed of members appointed from the national parliaments of its member states. The leader of the British delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly is the Rt. Hon. John Prescott MP and you may wish to take the matter up with him".
