According to this report there is another movement growing, seeking to take over leadership of your party from the MP's. The general gist is that they believe that a true grassroots movement should be community organised, not headed by powerful leaders.

I am dubious of the wisdom in this move, because it seems that it may disperse the swell of power building behind the party by tying it up in further committees, votes, and assignment of duty that has already been delaying the establishment. But I guess when the chaos struck, everyone saw it as an opportunity to reform the party in their own image, and maybe it truly will be the path to a class led movement.

What do you think?

I think this is by far the best option in a dispointing mess.

But I also think we need to be very observent of this new factions actions. To ensure no group tries to limit membership control.

We have no evidence to support ZS"s claims. Other then her statement and some internal supporters backing.

But the party from day one has been advertised on membership ownership and control. Any effort to limit that is unacceptable from any leadership founders/faction.

Any party rules need to include an option for members to wrestle control from any sub org with a mass vote.
