More Centrists than you can shake a stick at

The Convention of the Left recall conference was on the 24 January, it was largely a disappointment. The only major positive to come out of the day was the strengthening of the Gaza solidarity movement. Below are some reports:

Weekly Worker - Convention Party Poopers

Workers Power - Centrists shield reformist leaders

Permanent Revolution - Conference Report

LEAP - Convention of the Left

Socialist Fight (In WW) - Idiots

Not a bad summary.
But of course the session was allowed to debate the party - but decided not to.
Not the same thing at all.

I did write that it had been voted down, wrongly in my opinion.

What do you make of WP article?

Ridiculous and dishonest.
They claim I said things that I didn't say.
In other words as expected.

I didn't think it was a bad report, shame about not quoting what you actually said though, but to be expected as you said.

They raised some good points, especially with regards to the CPB, LRC and Respect holding back on discussions which will bring out differences on the party question.

Its a good report - except its dishonest and untruthful?
Ummm not quite.
