Talk:Socialist Campaign Group

[edit] Austin Mitchell

I'm rather surprised to se Austin Mitchell's name on this list. I can't find another list to confirm against - the Group's website is closed - but his voting record here hardly marks him out as a likely member. Can anybody advise? BTLizard 15:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

He's listed as a member on the website and has contributed to their magazine.

[edit] "Joined the government"

This seems to be given as reason for MPs not being members any more. Are ministers and ex-ministers barred from membership of the group?A Geek Tragedy 01:25, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Ministers are by tradition not members of groups like this; they are bound by the doctrine of collective responsibility which could lead them into a conflict of interest. An ex-minister would, of course, be free to re-join. BTLizard (talk) 13:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bob Wareing

is he still a member of campaign group despite not being a labour mp anymore? 78.146.171.127 (talk) 18:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
