STOP FUNDING THE LABOUR PARTY

Post by taylorwhite »

We should from as of now and until the Labour Party give a commitment to re-nationalise the Royal Mail stop all funding to the Labour Party.

What do people on the forum think about such a proposition. I can not see what benefit we can possibly derive by continuing our support for them. We should have a ballot on that.

The Labour "Party" has given the commitment, its Ed M, Chuka and Ed B who are refusing to commit. However that shows how pointless support for Labour is if party policy can be ignored by those at the top of the party, that's a seriously crap set up for our political fund to pay into to.

the trouble is as far as i can c is this union is too full of labour appologists who still believe labour is a party for the working class. every conference a motion is put up for disfilliation from the labour party (be it by the back door lol) and year after year labour supporter after labour supporter gets up to bleat on about past glories and u have to be in it to change it from within etc etc. labour is broken the system is broken. time our union put our political fund to better use and support those whose ideals and goals are the same as ours, be that snp, swp,greens,countryside alliance et al.

I cancelled my Liebour dues via the Snp site .... as I probably hate Liebour more that I hate the tories .... and I hate the tories with a passion

the only difference between Tories and Liebour mps is the colour of their ties

I agree.
No use in throwing away good money after bad.
The modern Labour Party betrayed us by opening the door to privatisation, and show no sign of re-nationalising either our industry, or any other lost to wealthy vultures.

Fair comment. Personally though,i wouldn't give two bob to any of the three main political parties. I will be voting for one of the smaller parties next time,like the Greens.

I believe in a referendum of the members of weather the CWU should continue to use some of the politcal levy to fund the Labour Party. That is the motion London will be putting to conference. It is time the members had their say in a democratic vote.

No money what so ever should be going to any political party, especially Labour who I used to vote for a few years ago, but never again.

Labour - Party for the people - My ass!
