POLICY PRIMARY
Shaping the agenda for Conference 2021
We want to leave this year’s Party conference with Labour democratically committed to transformative socialist policies that can meet the challenges we face, from Covid-19 to climate change.
To do that, we need to harness the biggest strength of our movement: the ideas, energy and creativity of our members.
That’s why, for the first time ever, Momentum is holding a democratic Policy Primary, so every member gets to decide the policies we campaign for at Labour Party Conference 2021. This is a major step forward in our plan to become a truly member-led organisation.
How it works
Local Momentum groups, unaffiliated campaigning organisations, and affiliated organisations/trade unions can all submit policy motions to be part of the Primary.
After compositing and shortlisting, the resulting motions will move to a one-member-one-vote ballot, where every Momentum member will get the chance to vote for or against motions, and rank their favourites.
The most popular 8 motions will be chosen for Momentum’s 2021 conference mobilisation.
If we’re going to change the Labour Party and the country, we need to make the big decisions about the future of our movement together.
