Universal franchise

Why is there such a strong opposition to the campaign of Jeremy Corbyn for the leadersup of the British Labour Party?

He certainly has brought a new and vibrant dynamic into the election, which begins today.

To an outsider looking in right now it seems the other three candidates are close to clones of those who went before them.

Can we only truly call an organisation democratic when it allows for univseral franchise?

Universal franchise in the Dominican Order? Why not?
