A radical agenda but can Burnham deliver?

I rejoined the party last night after a year gap. Not because I ws pleased to see Ming go – in the same way I lapsed not as a result of him becoming Leader. I just felt disenfranchised and remote from a Party that I had once been so active within.
The news yesterday found me all wound up with ‘what if’s’ and ‘I wonder who’s’ so I thought it’s time to be part of it all again. When you live in a liberally domant area as I do now it’s hard to get motivated when it seems so quiet at a national level.
Now I wonder as a ‘johnny rejoined lately’ will I get a vote or is there a cut off date for membership and a vote??
Anyone who is a current member at close of nominations will be entitled to vote. Anyone who wants to join or renew can do so here:
