Labour lay down the law

It appears that the Labour Party are going to go-ahead and expel up to 20 Blaenau Gwent members for supporting Peter Law in the General Election. They are doing so at a time when Peter's vote could ensure that they face defeat in the Assembly on top-up fees and when he himself has indicated that he is prepared to consider coming back to the Labour Party. Even Ken Livingstone's supporters did not suffer this fate.

It is possible of course that Wales Labour are students of the Genghis Khan school of diplomacy or just that they are so arrogant that they are past caring about the consequences. Whatever the reason their actions suit the opposition parties in the Assembly, who may now be able to pick off the Government on issues of our choosing.
Comments:
if you want to have a debate about rules lets have a debate about rules, whats that law about sexual discrimination? "a person may not be refused employment on the basis of sex, sexuality, race, ethnic origin, religion or any other factor" (or something like that) lets face it labour perpertraited a criminal offence by choosing women only labour should be in the dock. how political parties remain above the law is beyond me!
 
I think that the Liberal Democrats (there is no Liberal Democrat Party) uses its discretion.
