14th November Movement for Left Unity

who said that?

isnt it too late now any way? internal elections have closed last week, and the democratic structures make it impossible to just fly in a candidate without members voting them in.
he doesn't want to stand internally tho - too much like hard work. he justs wants to stand for council
 
Who has authority to send round stuff like that?
i'll wait to get more context , but it sounds like it was sent around the lambeth local branch. ive no idea who is in that or what size it is, but a lot of the local branches are small groups of people, none of whom necessarily have any authority other than as memebrs

Whoever sent it is doing a bit more than just circulating info.

Thanks, ive read it more carefully now
As far as my understanding of it the whole point of the democratic model is so this kind of thing doesn't happen - if anything it will be a good test of that.

it was an email that went round on the lambeth left unity email list. any more i don't know. i just thought that it was interesting that this proposition has come up.
 
just to state what i hope is obvious: i'm not in left unity nor am i connected to anyone involved beyond this: i just signed up in the early days out of curiosity to see if they had any new ideas that i could get behind. anything i post on this thread is from the emails i receive with any comment i see fit to add!

According to the WW and Pete McLaren reports numbers of branch reps showing up to national steering committee meetings are rapidly falling, while some detached from reality types are blathering about needing 5,000 members by the end of the year.

Mid-sized left sect thinking its a mass party = recipe for disaster


175 people joined yesterday after the new Loach article, most joining now are basically old labour supporters who can't stomach the LP anymore, especially after the welfare cap vote, its not a traditional sect and I don't think the new members are 'wreckers'

and I'm not a member.

that's what they said, but they would, wouldn't they? I suspect they were an awful lot of existing far-lefties who joined just in time to vote in the conference.
 
21 hour working week motion defeated. lots of talk of needing to ensure 'sellability' apparently. Must be radical, but not too radical.
 
what about the 'arming the people' motion

not too radical?
it wont pass, will it?

Conference has just voted to....Keep the NHS public! phew


Streams working now, tho its unwatchable and hard to listen to (both for technical rather than political reasons)

The SWP have been known to sign up that many over a couple of freshers fairs. Probably a higher percentage of people who will end up doing something too.
