politics for beginners question here, if I join a political party do I then get to vote when they have a leadership election?

[Meglet]

Just that really.

Or is it only MP's or people who have been a member for a certain amount of time?

And, in theory, I'd be able to go to the conferences? Childcare permitting.

TIA.

Yes and yes.

(I rejoined Labour after the last election and voted in the leadership election that Autumn)

Thanks .
