Abstract

The Labour Party changed its incumbent-renomination process six times between 1979 and 2019. Using it as a case study, Alona O. Dolinsky proposes a two-part theory explaining parties’ choice of incumbent-renomination methods: who controls the party, and whether they believe MPs are bound by dictates of the parliamentary leadership or the extra-parliamentary party.
