Do you sense another part of the Syrizia affair falling into place?

Agreed, some discussion of this on the last few pages of the Owen Jones thread.

Who said anything about claiming anything? A grandmaster doesn't publish her moves in advance.I've never claimed a Syriza type formation is on the cards in the short term.

Hardly getting over it.
It's all getting a bit "the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is poison, the chalice in the palace has the brew that is true".

No! They broke the chalice from the palace? The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.
I'm suprised at you VP.

i think what you're getting at is you're interested in sexy things which have happened abroad at a safe distance.
but once again your post begs the question, what the bloody fuck are you doing in the labour party?

No, I'm also interested in very ordinary mundane but nevertheless acute issues at community level, where a good % of our time is attacking the positions locally and nationally of the Labour leadership. I'm not at all arguing that its remotely likely that the left will sweep to power and transform Labour - but it is entirely possible that a clear socialist pole of attraction within the party can build support for an anti-austerity politics among people who vote Labour in the absence of anything better, because they hope that it can protect people a bit in comparison with the Tories.

i think what you mean here is that you're objectively helping the right of the labour party because you're trying to give people reasons to think labour is a socialist party: as there's no evidence of 'clear socialist poles of attraction' in the party doing anything for the electorate in the past it seems to me you're leading yourself and them up the garden path.

as you know butchers, not been a member for at least 10 years. Have no idea what the pros and cons of the respective parties/factions are.
If you want to succinctly lay them out for me, I will pick a side.

"Noticeably silent" is absolutely right. Usually everyone's "favourite" post-SWP Swappite would be in there lecturing and hectoring anyone who varied from the "party line" (all the while emphasising that he's not partisan and hasn't been a Swappite for years!), and generally making a putz of himself.
Here, though, almost as quiet as the grave. Perhaps he hasn't been reprogrammed by Swap-Central since the conference?

Ah, the old "post count" bollocks, the last refuge of someone who's got nothing better to throw than vague bilge.

but it's a particularly shit post as it doesn't give any indication of what he's wanting: so i linked to some random post which fulfilled his criterion.

True. Which is the real reason I have been noticeably quiet not just on this thread, but on any thread to do with the current affairs of the SWP, and many other topics.
