For those activists who have stayed - and I do have a lot of respect for that decision - I'd like to suggest the top priority should be to get in place a leadership that will as much as humanly possible actually abide by votes at Conference (Special Conference included). Otherwise, much of your effort is going to be wasted continuously reliving the same battles.lizwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401131361183004457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-90436611027766137752012-06-15T09:33:44.768+01:002012-06-15T09:33:44.768+01:00I think we're yet again letting the Tories set...I think we're yet again letting the Tories set the terms on the debate, and we'll end up with our MPs being bounced into supporting something we never wanted in the first place.<br /><br />My initial thoughts for this comment got far too long, so I turned it into a post: http://www.nickbarlow.com/blog/?p=1834Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482365633543675966noreply@blogger.com
