This is an exciting initiative to rebuild the Labour Party from the grassroots & go back to Labour traditions of organising within... local community

'This is an exciting initiative to rebuild the Labour Party from the grassroots and go back to the Labour traditions of organising within the local community.'

The words of the David Miliband campaign team in the document entitled 'So you’ve decided to hold a house
meeting for David...' which sets out in great detail what to do at the meeting. The advice includes this wonderful section:

'Once everyone has shared a story and you’ve found some common ground that unites people in the room start thinking about some next steps. Move from the section where everyone has been sharing stories to some practical solutions and next steps by reading or taking from the following paragraph:
“I hope you have enjoyed this evening - it’s been really interesting hearing your stories tonight and it just shows the need for us to organise in our local community. Whatever our different perspectives on the issues discussed tonight, one thing is clear – that we can achieve more together than we can on our own.
Our communities need change and we know that our country needs change and sometimes it’s tempting to leave that to national politicians. Actually what I’ve realized is that we need local leaders to make change and we need a national leader for the Labour Party and the country who will work with us to make that happen.
The Movement for Change is going to be a long process for the Labour Party but, if it is going to be successful, it has to begin with us electing David Miliband as leader. But we must make the Movement for Change a reality in our area by taking action on local issues that matter to us.
There are three things that I think we need to do. Firstly, we need to make sure that we are members of the Labour Party and that we encourage our friends and others to join so that they too can be part of this process.
Secondly, we need to ensure that we encourage new and old members to use their vote to support David Miliband and this Movement for Change. Finally, we need to take responsibility to find other leaders to join us in bringing change to this community.”'

So David Miliband's team want to 'go back to the Labour traditions of organising within the local community' so long as everyone speaks from the same crib sheet and agrees in advance what was said and agreed. Labour democracy in action?
