So your answer is yes — you

[HollyHead]

 So your answer is yes — you are in favour of boring from within.I’m not – on the grounds that I think it dishonest to join an organisation whose aims one does not agree with.Such membership of course might also be seen to be incompatible with membership of the Socialist Party.

It’s true that I have pleaded for brevity (both here and on other party forums). I am of the opinion that the logorrhoea to which many Party members are prone makes for poor communication. Excessive length fails to persuade.Internet forums are not (in my opinion) the place for lengthy expositions of the party case for socialism. Better by far to have short, snappy, exchanges. Three thousand word postings are not the way forward — they’re difficult for many of us oldies to read I suspect.
