Momentum needs to ensure that corbyn is elected.
to do this, they need to focus on the mistakes and accountability not just of the conservatives,but also of previous labour governments.
To present a break from past corruption in the form of blair and what he represents in the mind of the british public.
This means focussing on removing the power and influence of those within labour who still support the tory war and austerity and cuts agendas, specifically in the parliamentary labour party and in the Labour National executive committee.
With the vast increase in memebrship, we can expect to resolve these issues easily where members are activated beyond the usual inner circles of pro estalishment operators. I read that labour has more than doubled in size since corbyn was elected. Am i right?
There are fundamentalist democrats within the labour movement who think that labour needs to demonstrate extreme democratic values.
I think a vast increase in the democratic functionality and accontability in the party is necessary, but im not concerned with democratisation as a fundamental principle because i long ago lost faith in the power of the average man to make advanced and complex political decisions through abstraction.
If momentum allegedly becomes oppressive or impedes corbyn's advancement to downing street, discussion should occur between those who allege this and the leaders of momentum. Where impasse is reached, splinter groups should form quickly and smoothly to allow those who disagree on how best to help Jeremy get there to organise their activism.
The organisation that promotes corbyns interests the best may not necessarily be momentum. Although, if it really is the people behind his campaign for labour leader, that certainly earns a LOT of respect and optimism that they may well know how to make it happen from me.
I therefore advocate-
1) We form democratic, populist, wide, momentum groups all across the UK, including scotland.
2) We instantiate transparent and democratic rules and appeal procedures.
3) we activate official fora to supercede this one, using this one only where moderation is unecessary or non transparent
4) we prioritise and select 40 MPs and 8 NEC members for deselection and replacement.
5) We arrange an intense public focus on these supporters of oppressive policies, one by one. focussing on a single individual corbyn opponent will permit us to optimise and accelerate the processes involved for subsequent Corbyn opponent. Its important that these processes are optimised for the earliest, most obviously disruptive, least popular corbyn opponents so that the more widely popular ones fall quickly too.
6) about three years from now, we turn our attention to widespread voter activism to win a safe margin of seats to ensure labour is elected. This requires some dramatic examples of proposing democratic breaks with the past at labour conference.
eg "the previous labour government's support for the Iraq war was disastrous for the UK and the labour party unreservedly apologises for it and should expel members assocated with it due to bringing the party into disrepute"
eg "the disability assessment regime is outright condemned by the labour party and will be suspended with immediate effect upon the arrival of labour in power"
eg "all changes made by the conservatives to the NHS junior doctors contracts will be reversed pending a new investigation into working hours and funding requirements to maintain safe working levels."
