Letters to the Editor
Poll On
It's never easy to question my party - my way of life - the ALP, and it's not easy now.
Can we win? Hard hat lunch sheds around my daily run say no!
Gee why? What if they are right? How can we get them to understand the results of failure?
It's OK to say: 'Solidarity Belly, stick to the movement', but is there something we can do to get our message across?
Long before the last election, a very long time before it was clear to thinking party members we had no chance - that the landslide was coming, say nothing, stay solid was the party's answer.
Why?
Can the ALP and union movement together put out a poll asking workers what they want from the party?
No ,not a farmed opinion poll answer given at the start - a sealed envelope post-paid poll.
We must listen and learn from that one in three who do not vote for us. Just maybe we can use it to turn more around. We must do that at least.
