So opposition to standing at elections is opposition to the party's Declaration of Principles?
Let's not go on a heresy hunt here, searching out members who presently oppose using resources in elections because they may not think the time is appropriate for standing in elections.
EH??How can you interpret my comment in such a way? I suggest no such thing.
While I think anti-electoralism might contravene the D of P, choosing not to contest particular elections or constituencies for pragmatic reasons (members time / money) is not and I think this is all that Alan is saying. Although I don't think poor results in terms of votes for us is reason alone enough not to contest.
