The Labour Party is facing a “civil war” over Sir Keir Starmer’s plans to reform the way the Labour leader is elected. He is proposing the one member, one vote (OMOV) system is replaced with a return to the electoral college made up of the unions and affiliate organisations, MPs and party members. The system was how Labour leaders were voted in before 2015, when Jeremy Corbyn became leader following a groundswell of support from members from the left of the party, and Sir Keir’s allies blame OMOV for the party’s dysfunction under his predecessor.
