“People’s Assembly” (London – from 9.00am – June 22nd)

Here is a report from a key member of Counterfirehttp://luna17activist.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/a-movement-that-can-win-10-observations.html

What's sad about all this enthusiasm is that is that it's for a movement that won't even get off the ground let alone "win". For three main reasons:1. The Trotskyist sects are not going to stop their suabbling, entryism, manipulation and generally playing student politics.2. This niche on the political spectrum is already covered more or less by the Green Party (who were represented at the Assembly).3. The first-past-the-post electoral system.in any event, the policies they are advocating (basically, Bring Back Keynes) won't work even if they did "win".
