The thousands if not millions readers of this blog will know that what I mean when talking about discipline is not the type you get in those funny establishments that some politicians tend to frequent (not mentioning any names specifically here) but the discipline that is required for large organisations and political movements so that they can be successful. Democracy is of course the most important ingredient for any mainframe or small party but once decisions are made in a democratic way then the rest of us have to follow policy that has been formulated. An example of this is when decisions have been taken by Unison national conference only to be questioned later on by those with other interests who may wish to push their own agendas. And that can't be allowed to happen. We debate, agree policy and then we follow the rules otherwise we will have little UDI's everywhere in the country. The same applies at branch level. When decisions are taken those decisions must be adhered to and those who wish to change that will be undermining the basic principles of democracy.
