Key stats about the nominations performance of the @labtowin team of NEC candidates as a whole

•All six of us got over 100 nominations, the first time that has been achieved by the moderate slate since at least 2006, possibly ever!
•In 2018 our candidates got between 23 and 68 nominations, this time we got between 108 and 223
•Johanna’s nominations have jumped from 67 in 2018 to 160 in the by-election this year to 223 now – the highest number she has ever had in 7 contests
•Gurinder’s nominations have jumped from 68 in 2018 to 122 in the by-election to 204 now
•My nominations have jumped from 51 in 2018 to 141 now
•The hard left slate always gets more nominations than the moderates as they control an array of small CLPs. The gap between us has gone down from 130 in 2018 to 18 now
•We’ve done disproportionately well in the CLPs with the largest memberships
•We’ve done disproportionately well in CLPs where all members could attend the meeting, not just GC delegates
•If there are examples of moderate candidates getting more than 200 nominations they are before 2008 when my records start, so Johanna and Gurinder have done better than any moderate candidates for at least 14 years
•We got 30% of the OMOV vote in 2018, which would probably have given us 3 of 9 seats under STV, these nomination figures are almost 3 times better than that year
There are loads of mainstream members who support Keir in the CLPs that nominated Hard Left candidates - their voices will be heard at the OMOV stage - but they need to turn out so the NEC truly reflects the views of the membership
