Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
Quote:
Labour was within its rights to stop new members voting in its leadership contest, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
It found the party's rules give its National Executive Committee "the power to set the criteria for members to be eligible to vote".
The party challenged a High Court verdict blocking its plans to stop members who joined after 12 January from voting, unless they paid £25.
It means nearly 130,000 members will not be able to vote in the contest.
