How do you leave?

OK, so I've been a member of the Labour Party for around 7 months now, and I have no idea how to leave. They don't have anything on their website telling you how to leave, they never seem to respond to emails and quite frankly, I get the feeling they're going to cling onto people now and try to keep them under their wing.

I've considered just returning my membership card to them with a polite letter explaining why I wish to leave, but I get the feeling that it will still be ignored!

I've only been called by the Labour Party twice since I joined, even though it said when I joined I would be contacted by my local Labour MPs, and it has obviously been one big general disappointment after another. They only called me to try and get me to put things in my window and talk to voters on election day. I feel like I've just been used instead of engaged with the party.

So yes, inventive ways of how to leave (or get kicked out of) the party are welcome and appreciated. Maybe Mr Jones would be kind enough to enlighten me?
 
Blazey - do you pay your subs by DD - if you do just cancel the DD. Alternatively just write to them, quoting your membership number and say that you are resigning as a member.

I take it that you have given your address at uni for your membership.
 
Hop on the bus Gus
Make a new plan Stan
Drop off the key Lee
No need to be coy Roy.
Just get yourself free.:theband:

Or just jump ship.:D

Yes they have the uni address for membership as I am a member of the Lancaster CLP. You barely pay anything as a student so even if I cancelled the direct debit they wouldn't notice it for ages. I want to leave NOW.
 
They would notice immediately - it's a computer system so would notice the minute you stopped paying even if you were only paying 50p. Stop your DD.

Is it really that important ? I don't think people are going to stop and point fingers at you when you walk down the street, or cross the road to avoid you because the Labour Party haven't got round to cancelling your membership :confused:
 
Well actually it does make a different, its something I am registered with on databases and currently part of my identity, part of my identity that is fake as it doesn't represent me and it restricts me from doing things with other parties in the future if I'm stuck to Labour.
 
Blazey you asked what to do to leave the Labour Party....Claytonender was good enough to give you the relevant information.......why don't you just do as has been suggested......or is this thread about letting us all know you are leaving the Labour Party?

I know, I should really take my anti cynical pills.
 
dont worry margaret ... i thought that when i first read it ... and in actual fact all you have to do is exactly what claytonender said ...
 
Blazey Why are you leaving the Labour party as a member interesting can you reveal the reason if not thats fine i respect your privacy just interested to hear your reasons and point of view.
 
why leave i would have thought this is the best time for you to rise through the ranks and get into a position where you can change things.why is it when thing get a bit rocky people jump ship.maybe if you stay long enough you will become prime minister :Dswings and rounabouts.i see the press fail to mention if the tories get in they are going to abolish the national minmium wage.that will really bring poverty as the companies will bring more cheap labour in for maxium profit and the working class will become the underclass....just a thought:confused:
 
A whole seven months.

Doesn't time fly?

It doesn't seem all that long ago since you were posting on here about your support for the Conservative party.

I've known students who don't change their bedding as often as you change political allegiance.

:rolleyes:

You need lessons in life more than anything else, you swap and change your allegiances,friends and enemies, causes and concerns constantly!
What have you gained from telling everyone on here that you have yet again changed your mind?
Nowt.
We all know you are fickle and we all trust
you about as much as we trust the weather forecast.
As they say in Yorkshire, I won't thole it any more, get a life or shut up!
