Is that the same Cathy Porter who wrote a biog of Kollontai?
I see that Molyneux's isn't one of the signatories. The tame oppositionist.

Quite poss.
Molyneux is a man who has chicken in his beard never mind his soul. The gendarme sits there already.

I'd guess that the soft and hard elements have reached a mutually acceptable accommodation. And that the vacillators won't reject the platform, as that would amount to setting them up for expulsion.

Absolutely true fella. This one is a game changer. The cc has to back down now or risk fucking everything up once and for all. Seymour and Mieville can still go take a jump (or just limp away slowly over the next months) but purging or just watching people like Birchall, Gonzales(!), Stack(!!) or Barker (!!!) walk away can't be acceptable to anyone who ever gave a flying fuck about the swp.
I think I said very early on in this thread that Stack's position on on the dc findings was one I sympathised with. If he's prepared to sign this ting that's good enough for me.

Agreed, not in a million years. Or Gonzales or Barker. Stack maybe as he has his own moral authority for some reason.

Exasperated, not angry.
He is another one allowed to be critical, has been for decades. You could see some of that in his cliff biography.
I don't think the faction could refuse to allow the platform members to join. It is a faction, not a party, anyone who agrees with that factions platform can sign up to say they agree. Having an explicit platform within the faction is a bit weird and not in in any constitution - tho it isn't barred from one either.

If the vacillators were looking to keep the Seymourites out, surely they would have achieved that via the straightforward method of including a couple of lines they couldn't sign up to.

Critical yes. But to join a faction at a time when the cc is at war with people like seymour is something I never would have dreamt possible, unless the issue was just too big to ignore. And he clearly thinks it is.

Exactly, he is allowed to be critical. Yet he has never joined an open declared faction outside of the pre-discussion period until now.

This is my 224th post on this thread apparently. The sort of thing that you normally read about in Fortean Times about compulsive behaviour
