The Labour and Lib Dem candidates have prohibited their candidates from participating in any new primaries. But our fantastic colleagues at East Wight Primary have adapted our model to work without the candidates. They will act as a neutral broker, summarising the candidates output to supporters, and then hold a single vote nearer the election once the candidates are known and the manifestos out. We are excited about this new approach. Though it's a shame not to be able to question the candidates, the new model will be cheaper and simpler to run, and won't need anyone's permission. Communities can still stage a fair and transparent vote to unite the progressive vote around a single candidate. More detail to be announced soon.
