Party Should Include all its Members

   Utah is considering switching from a caucus-convention system to a system in which all the candidates are in the primary. Turning the decisions over to the voters is fair. They are the ones who should be selecting our leaders. It has been argued that the party ought to be able to select its own candidates. While that is true, who is the party? Is it the few, the party activists, just the convention delegates? Or is the party all the people who belong to it -- all them? I think it is fair to let the full party membership be the party, not just the insiders.
