    How do I leave the Labour Party?
    I've been a member of the Labour Party for almost three years now, but for a wide variety of reasons (but mostly due to a change in political beliefs) I wish to leave the party. I can't find any information about how to do this on the website and at no point have I been supplied with any information about how to leave.

    Help?

    Write to them enclosing your membership card. Cancel direct debit. Job done.

    If you get a job you are automatically ejected. Problem solved.

    Step 1:

    Say any one of the following:

    1. 'Actually Ed, we don't have money for that'
    2. 'We should leave/renegotiate/talk about the EU'
    3. 'Actually they're not privatising the NHS'

    In front of another party member.

    Step 2:

    ???

    Step 3:

    Profit Ejection from the Labour Party

    Well they have failed to get use out of the recession for a start. I guess they are the lesser of the two evils.

    We'd be in a far worse state if Labour had clung to power.

    No, it helped create the largest deficit in peacetime we've ever had.

    Which they expect to pay off in a boom.

    Like I said before I really can't be bothered arguing.
