    So do you think as a party we should hide what we truly believe so people will vote for us, and once we are in we can show our true faces? Let’s be a little moderate now but once we are in we will be different and enact radical changes?

    where have i heard that before? hmmm…

      No I think that if you want to be a political party you have to think about how you phrase things, consider that you don’t live in a vacuum with only your core supporters who think exactly the same as you do, and think about how other people will try and spin your words to make them look bad. Then taking all that in mind craft your message in order to work round those constraints to say what you mean without falling foul of them.

      You know, do politics.

      As a party we should focus on what’s important, not on slogans. “Zionism is Racism” isn’t a radical change and it doesn’t enable radical change - it’s a slogan. It would have been much better to focus on more important policies like sanctions against Israel than on this slogan. Or what about North sea drilling, or poverty, or many other debates that this took attention away from?
