The first of 3.4 Million ballot papers have been put in the post to Labour Members, MPs, MEPs and Trade Union members. Labour's electoral college system includes more people than any of the systems used by the other parties.
But with financial hardship how does the party afford this? In fact John Spellar raised exactly this point when he called for the contest to be scrapped. Well its simple really, you just charge each of the 6 candidates £5,000 for a copy of the party membership list. £30,000 should be enough to cover most of the costs, ontop of £10 per party member to attend the hustings and £50 for the leadership conference.
