Disabled people's faction within Your Party

Hairyloon

I just happened upon this on Twitter. I thought people here might be interested, but I don't have time to think about it just now...

  • Great idea, shame it's "Your Party", politically I'm left wing, but I cannot bring myself to vote for any party that has Corbyn in any leadership role and I'm dubious about Sultana too.

    If they do as they promised to do and make it properly democratic, then the leaders will be effectively just figureheads, so whatever is your beef with Corbyn ought to fall away. However it seems that most of the problems it has had so far are because they are trying to stitch up control of the party...

    This will require the people who are currently fighting to get into power to give up that power. I don't think I have seen this happen in my lifetime as the power corrupts and they try to retain it.

    Frankly is sounds as implausable as any elected partys manifesto promises. Lie enough to get into power then conveniently forget about them while blaming it all on the previous bunch.

    Through public discourse.
    Consider this forum as a starting point: all the debates and discussions are clearly laid out for all to see: any decision will show where it came from and the arguments for and against.

    Presumably the moderators can delete chunks if they have grounds, but they can't easily do that without leaving a trail, although the trail may only be visible to other mods.

    In the proposed system, deletion shouldn't be allowed: posts deemed inappropriate could be moved out of sight (which may be what they do here) and there would be mechanisms to enable review and appeal.
