The turnout in Labour's NEC election was 16.7 per cent. So 83 per cent of people who bother to pay their subs to the party are not bothered to vote in NEC elections.

We remember the struggle against antisemitism in the University and College Union @ucu. There, a small group of activists took control of the decision making structures and tolerated the driving out of Jews (those who refused to disavow Israel) from union structures.

The process by which @ucu became institutionally antisemitic was a prototype for what has since happened in the wider Labour movement.
It is like UCU in that most members don't know and don't care what's happening.

But if the leader was an anti-black racist they'd know. And if the leader had a hidden agenda of privatising the NHS, they'd know. And if they cared about antisemitism, they'd know.
But they choose not to be interested in this. So they allow it to go ahead by doing nothing.

In today's Labour Party it is the small coterie of activists with their 80,000 periphery who are responsible, but hundreds of thousands let them do *this* - and they wouldn't let them do *that*.
