A Labor Party activist is demanding the historic double leadership ballot pave the way for "radical democratisation".
Luke Whitington, the man behind a social media push Albo4leader, wants Labor MPs shafted from the leadership ballot process.
"There are lots and lots of people who share my view that it should be one member, one vote," he told ABC radio on Monday.
Mr Whitington was responding to the weighted result that allowed caucus a decisive say in Bill Shorten's election on Sunday.
While MPs voted 55-31 Shorten's way, the party's rank and file overwhelmingly preferred Anthony Albanese 60-40 per cent.

When the two two tallies were weighted against each other, Mr Shorten won with 52 per cent of the combined vote.
Mr Whitington said the party must embrace "radical democratisation" or put at risk the excitement and energy generated by the rank-and-file ballot.
"People are fired up about party democratisation."
He believes opening up membership voting for other positions would help weed out corruption.
ALP national president Jenny McAllister initially insisted the 50-50 weighting was "right" but now says she is open to a conversation at the next national conference about how to improve the process.
That might include opening up the vote to union members.
"I have a personal view that we do need to keep a strong connection to our trade union members if we want to be larger," Ms McAllister told ABC Radio.
