Allow all members to vote in Labours leadership election.
If you have signed up to the Labour party after the 12th of January 2016, you will have to pay £25 to vote. This is not right and is not the rules people signed up to. Please read additional details for more information on this petition.
On their website the Labour party clearly states that as a member you can vote in leadership elections. Nowhere does it mention that you will have to wait 6 months to vote. The £25 fee for members who joined after the 12th of January, is discrimination against the poor and is pricing them out of democracy. Hundreds and thousands of Labour members who signed up for Jeremy Corbyn will miss out on the all important leadership vote. This is immoral and should not be allowed.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!

Procedures for electing the leader of a political party are a matter for the party concerned, not the Government or Parliament.
