You must admit though, that Hillary is the party choice within the present context "ie - it not being the final choice"
My contention is that when a decision is brken up into pieces, this damages the quality of the result. I believe:
The party should make one decision of who is the candidate - through the membership of the parliamentary party or a combination of.
The people then should have a straight, and clear, choice.
Of course there is an anti-Hillary mob, as there is an anti-Bush mob. These people dont decide the election, the middle ground do.

And Will, your summary of Clause 4 is exactly correct... dropping Clause 4 was symbolically dropping the commitment to collective ownership. It was a symbolic statement that the Labour party was no longer a socialist party. Michel's "Iron Law of Oligarchy" I suppose.
