Only one other Republican/Socialist/Feminist did better than Salma and that was Caroline Lucas who actually won the Brighton Pavilion seat for mark anthony francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17275493469138594392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25556312.post-75506017149733278882012-09-12T08:29:55.266+00:002012-09-12T08:29:55.266+00:00Sean Thompson ...

Politics in England is increasingly volatile and the austerity offensive of the Con/Dem government is begining to affect millions of people. Faced with this crisis there is an urgent need to build some kind of alternative that can act a a focus for resistence. mark anthony francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17275493469138594392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25556312.post-14560136697177183442012-09-11T21:58:48.793+00:002012-09-11T21:58:48.793+00:00@Sean, the EC's of all the left grouplets just...@Sean, the EC's of all the left grouplets just want to be big fish in little ponds. and their members don't want to rock the boat.Scott Herberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493132443946406894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25556312.post-23222835138751707652012-09-11T20:51:22.403+00:002012-09-11T20:51:22.403+00:00We shouldn't just react to this news with a kn...We shouldn't just react to this news with a knee jerk 'Join the Green Party'. It's vulture like and sectarian. What we should be doing is regretting what amounts to the final death of Respect, which was, at least at the beginning, a serious attempt to build a broad based mass party with roots in dispossessed communities - something the Green Party has never attempted, Sean Thompsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25556312.post-20232003449030039362012-09-11T20:48:59.494+00:002012-09-11T20:48:59.494+00:00Well if she was to join I'd take it as a sign ...Well if she was to join I'd take it as a sign theirs still hope for GreenLeft and be more inclined to lend a hand.Scott Herberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493132443946406894noreply@blogger.com
