United Left did what they do best and the card vote on the implementation of the structural amendments already agreed was lost. This was by about 550,000 votes to 500,000.I appreciate that some delegates did have genuine doubts and concerns about the proposed changes and wanted (yet) more time to consider. But others still seem to think that THE REVOLUTION will only happen if there is an united front of all local government and health workers being led by some chosen vanguard.
Dream on comrades.
The leaflets put out by UL on this vote were completely misleading and scaremongering (IMO),
This decision will mean that some CVS activists will accuse branches of only wanting CVS subscriptions without willing to offer them effective representation. Which I think on the whole is not fair to most branches but such perverse decisions do mean that accusations will be made by CVS activists who are desperate to organise their sectors properly.
Well, two steps forward and one step backwards I suppose. Onwards and forwards to next year.
I was “bumped off” from speaking by a point of order so I will post next the speech I would have made.
(BTW to make sense of this - see previous 2 posts)
