Pound sinks as Britain weighs EU exit

Not at all. Just reminding you that party members have many powers, such as selecting Labour candidates to run in parliamentary elections, but no democratic legitimacy to tell elected MPs what to stand for.

A Labour MP faithfully representing her constituents might disagree with Corbyn’s platform. Come next election Labour party may select a different candidate for her seat. And the constituents might not elect that candidate. And that’s democracy.
