was the 'no-hopers' bit. During the 'hours and hours of engagement with green actvsiits' I dont think you have been that genuine Kerry. That's honestly how you have come across to me.In debates with me (and some others I've seen) you all too often end up simply dismissing Greens and alternatives or pointing out the the 'practicalities' of compromise. I recall you've used the phrase 'preaching from the sidelines' to me as well as attempting to label me/others as unrealistic or hippy in attitude or belittling Greens as a small party. Clear examples are here on your blog, unless you've removed them.Your attitude in this posting instance is consistent with what I'm arguing. There is a pattern in your behaviour towards greens. You've not engaged genuinely with the substance of the two other commenters and end up using the term 'no-hopers'. You should withdraw it in my view. Hope is a key concept for socialists. I regard myself as a socialist.You've not said anything in response to my point about the history of the Labour Movement. There are 'small' socialist movements around the world - should they just give up and support whatever is established that is least objectionable to them?
