Exclusive: Your Party CEC votes no confidence but must ask leadership to respect vote

The Your Party executive committee (CEC) no-confidence vote exclusively revealed by Skwawkbox last week took place on Sunday.

The specially-arranged CEC meeting, to hold no-confidence votes in three key officials, was fraught and lasted almost three-and-a-half hours. Yet it ended without a clear conclusion, forcing members to ask party leaders to respect a clear majority vote that just failed to reach the required threshold.

The issue was a vote of no confidence in three figures blamed for the suspension of three well-known CEC members for attending a socialist conference. A number of members left the meeting rather than participate, but the no-confidence motion was supported by a clear majority of those who voted.

Your Party votes fails to reach supermajority

However, the tallies did not quite reach the two-thirds supermajority required to force the removal of the three officials. This has forced the CEC to ask leadership to respect the majority vote, which has rendered the CEC near-unworkable.

After a meeting in which efforts to put off the vote appealed to Jeremy Corbyn’s claimed wishes, CEC members don’t expect a decisive intervention. Your Party’s chaos continues, when the country is desperate for socialist clarity.
