Why is there so little discussion on Andy's original post about the future of Labour? The endless in-fighting is so tiring and, ultimately, pointless.
I'd love to see what vision people want from the Labour Party, some goals to achieve and some specific objectives or targets. Then we could talk about ideas and solutions to reach those targets. We can identify rules, constraints and values, giving us a framework to define the strategy of the Labour Party.
For example, is one goal to be elected to government? Seems like a fair one. Let's set a specific objective to form the government in the next election (2020, let's say). This is something tangible that we can say we've achieved or not in the time period. You can go further by breaking down these objectives into more detail, say, "Retain the top 10 most marginal Labour seats" and "Gain the top 20 marginal seats where Labour is in 2nd place".
Now, you can come up with some ideas. One might be, "Target all resources into canvassing at marginal constituencies" or "Raise awareness of Labour policies". Once the ideas are agreed, then they can be implemented.
Practical discussion like this would be preferable for me in this thread and its opening post.
