Date: Friday, March 2nd, 2012 05:08 pm (UTC)You don't need to wait for Gateshead if you think that's the right route - the benefits cap effectively withdraws child benefit from higher income earners, which Conference has already voted against.
I'm not sure I'd go for a vote of no confidence specifically over the party democracy aspects here - I do understand why Conference decisions can't bind our ministers, because that could be used to tie them to voting for narrow party interests rather than in the interest of the country as a whole. I do have very serious misgivings as to whether we're getting the realpolitik right at the moment, though, and am considering whether the Welfare Reform Act has crossed my red lines.
