Britain needs open primaries too

Daniel Hannan's blog sums up why Britain, too, needs open primary candidate selection.

It is the single most important change we need to renew our system of moribund democracy. 

I can understand that the Conservatives and Lib Dems, distracted by being in government, might have lost interest in the idea.  But it genuinely puzzles me as to why the Labour party has not moved to adopt open primary candidate selection. 

Yet more evidence that they lack the right kind of leader?
