Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Churnalism at Conference

Amongst the mistakes made by those supporting NEC policy in yesterday's Rules debates was the publication, in numerous Regional delegates' bulletins of unsigned "articles" which (in identical wording) set out the case for the NEC position.



Regional bulletins should be the voice of Conference floor, and delegates don't find it persuasive to find these bulletins being used to convey an "official line."



Regional bulletins should only editorialise anonymously in line with agreed Regional policy. Delegates don't like to be taken for fools.
