RMT Organised Open Debate 21st Jan 2006

[mutley]

I think we are hoping to sponser a seperate conference later in the year depending on the momentum of the campaign.

So, reading between the lines, you don't expect much from this conference, and you'll be organising your own one later in the year.

Why Jean Lambert and not Caroline Lucas?

Jean leads on social welfare and trade union issues in the European Parliament, plus it's in London. At least I guess that's why.

"Reading between the lines" or even just the words of the conference invitation on their face should tell you that the RMT conference isn't going to launch a new party or a campaign for a new party. It's a forum for discussion. That's what we expect from it - an opportunity to discuss the need for working class representation and as such a useful step in a much longer process.
