There are no easy answers to how we deal with what is going to be a major crisis in the public sector. There is no doubt that a Tory government will take revenge on public sector workers and embark on major measures to reduce costs which will lead to pay freeze and redundancies. So our strategies to deal with this must embrace basic principles and there is nothing more basic than going back to where members and staff who are not yet members and persuade them to join and do so very fast. We must concentrate on recruiting more people and push the barriers. Its no longer good enough to accept that 35 to 40% membership is OK. It isn't not when we are facing a war!!
Yes right but supporting the Labour party openly, like you do, is not something that potential members will be attracted to? Drop them and move on!

ReplyDeleteThere are problems with the way the Labour party leadership is manipulating the party but that does not mean that the Labour party should not be reclaimed by those of us who are members. Labour is the only party on the left to have a chance in governmment.
