SWP expulsions and squabbles

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

Shit that may be the only time I've ever found myself saying the exact same thing as butchers at the same time ;-)
 
I think you're out of order. There's no need for your hatred of the SWP to lead you to treat people in such a disrespectful and aggressive way.

1) I don't "hate the SWP", I strongly dislike the brake that I personally believe that the various machinations of the SWP with reference to their practice of "embrace and stifle" of popular movements puts on working class and left politics as a whole.

2) I've been aggressive, but "disrespectful"? What reason(s) has the poster given me to be respectful? No reason(s) whatsoever!
 
Reading those demands again, it looks astoundingly like what union full-timers would propose as a way out when they thought a wildcat (or somesuch event) was getting out of hand.
I think the faction gives a way for the CC to get off the spike upon which it has impaled itself. If they have any remaining wisdom they will allow the discussions to take place and concede points. I won't be putting any bets on it though.
 
It would have been really, really wise for the faction to have said something that made the platform keep their distance.

Not at all, they should be attempting to reconcile 'the platform' with the newly enlightened CC after it reforms itself by dialogue. Fairy tales are supposed to have a happy ending.
 
They will have every CC loyalist in their ear now sensing they can cut them both off by dividing them. First foot wrong from SEYMOUR!

Is it though - I think that despite what he is saying publically he would quite like to break away from the party and that the best way to do it while looking like the wronged party is set up an infrastructure which the CC have to expel by their own logic, and that allows him to take a number of members, especially young and energetic ones away with him.

My reading is SEYMOUR! has no interest in or support for another group - this is his last fling with organised politics.

Lol. Some of them know that's not going to happen, the reconcile bit that is. I think they genuinely believe the 'reforms' bit might in the sense of correcting a cockup.
