It strikes me as odd that we’re not happy that the Conservatives have got a kicking. Seems we’re a political party that doesn’t give a dam about the voters.
Maybe this was discussed at the meeting – which I had to leave prematurely – but is there a dissonance in the party position? It’s inspiring to see footage of the working class marching in their thousands and hopefully millions, but our position is that it’s a waste of time. What would the party’s reaction be if, say a million people joined a protest in London tomorrow against the genocide in Gaza? I suspect the party position would be ‘well that was pointless because socialism is the solution’. Fair enough but the dissonance creeps in when we’re (or is it just me) secretly thinking “wow that’s amazing to see so many people publicly protesting”.
I posted the following message somewhere else on the Party forum, so sorry for any duplication but –
Why are we not standing in the Mayor elections? Here in Greater Manchester I’ve just received a booklet through the letter box, containing the manifesto of candidates.
Apparently it costs £5000 to stand for mayor. So the cost isn’t an issue for us.
The booklet contains information about what I believe is an intellectually challenged independent candidate, who says he’ll “Keep your Car”, on top of the usual party candidates.
It made me think we could maybe have invested £5000 in sending the party case to everyone in Greater Manchester?
If a right wing business man with £5000 and a car can do it, why can’t we?

I’m very much enjoying this thread, my contribution is in honour of Bob Marley. A genuinely great man. It was a shock he died so young [not posting as a moderator]
Enjoy this, if you can friends https://youtu.be/E3wISftyEAE?si=s_kcUNfbuxYrmWFg
I would put this in the musical anti-war category and therefore deserving of a post on our forum (personal capacity)
Yes, I think I see what you are saying ActualSocialist10. You are saying that, if Islamic fundamentalists share equal rights in a democracy, the socialist revolution is doomed. Well that is correct – assuming that the fundamentalists are a majority of the world’s population.
However you seem to be saying that asylum seekers are a threat to world socialism. It’s almost as if Suella Braverman joined this forum for a laugh.
